up with the lark
Awake at sunrise
Up with the lark means rising very early in the morning, alluding to the songbird's habit of singing at dawn.
The phrase typically describes someone who wakes cheerfully at first light: She's always up with the lark, out walking before the rest of us are awake.
It carries a wholesome, industrious tone.
