'you wake' is the definition.
'rouse' can be an answer for 'wake' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'you' bit.

'quarrels heard' is the wordplay.
'quarrels' becomes 'rows' ('row' can be a synonym of 'quarrel').
'heard' shows a homophone (sound like).
'rows' sounds like 'ROUSE'.

'when' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rouse that I've seen before include "Stir up; excite" , "To start" , "Get going" , "Wake up, make active" , "Make angry" .)
