excellent aubade.. a very catchy beautiful nature poem- 10
the word Aubade comes from French 'albade', that is the feminine form of the Latin word 'albus' (alba) = dawn, and it refers to a song or instrumental composition concerning daybreak. - [from Wikipedia: ] An aubade is a morning love song (as opposed to a serenade, which is in the evening) , or a song or poem about lovers separating at dawn. It has also been defined as ''a song or instrumental composition concerning, accompanying, or evoking daybreak''.
'HARK! hark! the lark at heaven's gate sings, ' If I arrived at heaven's gate and had a choice, I would love to hear the dawn chorus which greeted pioneers in New Zealand in the bush every morning, history records the amazing sound of hosts of native birds as superior to or similar to great classical orchestra pieces played by the greatest, yet introduced predators like rats, stoats, cats, dogs, etc have killed off most of the birds and 1080 poison drops to kill possums killing native trees kill even more birds, thus the dawn chorus enters myth legend as a sadly golden age we cannot regain; it would take a miracle to hear and what poet or musician of passion would not desire the chance to hear the infamous lost dawn chorus of New Zealand past.
He steeds to water at those springs.....marvelous poem from the greatest of poets.
Marsh marigolds at sunrise spring From Stratford's marshes green Here Shakespeare beauty doth compare With larks that sweetness sing
Phoebus is Apollo the sungod. This poem describes the sunlight striking a pond or lake, flower buds opening. I'm not certain what the lark at heaven's gate refers to. But since birds sing in the morning, I suppose the lark at heaven's gate also does.
A work of art this is. Thanks for sharing the piece
