Anonymous. 160467. Sister, Awake! Thomas Bateson’s First Set of English Madrigals
| SISTER, awake! close not your eyes! | |
| The day her light discloses, | |
| And the bright morning doth arise | |
| Out of her bed of roses. | |
| See the clear sun, the world’s bright eye, | 5 |
| In at our window peeping: | |
| Lo, how he blusheth to espy | |
| Us idle wenches sleeping! | |
| Therefore awake! make haste, I say, | |
| And let us, without staying, | 10 |
| All in our gowns of green so gay | |
| Into the Park a-maying! |
