What Does "Hark" Mean?

"Hark" is an archaic word that means "to hear" or "to listen". It is often used in the phrase "hark back", which means to return to a previous time or place, or to think about something from the past.

For example, you might say "I've been feeling nostalgic for my childhood lately, and I've been harking back to those carefree days."

In the context of your sentence, "harkens" is a typo or a misspelling of "harks". The correct phrase would be "harks back", not "harkens".
