Awake, my love, disclose thy radiant eyes;
Arise, my love, my beauteous lady, rise!
Hear how the doves with pensive notes complain,

About Awake, my love, awake
The words of this partsong paint a scene of spring, urging a loved one to awaken and behold the beauty of a world renewed. The winter’s storms have passed, the sky is bright, and even the doves are heard to sing. The composer John Hare Walker sets this charming English text for SATB choir, creating a delightful musical picture that complements the lyrical invitation to embrace the light and loveliness of the season. It is a secular song, perfect for adding a touch of pastoral charm to a concert programme.
