Awake! Arise!



                            Arise! Arise!

The daylight dies,

And now's the time for wandering!

Awake, you fool!

The air is cool

And stars are faintly glimmering.

The wind blows fair

And brown owls stare

Within the shifting moon-lit wood.

The friendly night

Is filled with light

And fresh-mown fields smell green and good.

So stand not so,

But let us go

And walk the path up to the hill.

We'll talk and sing

Like careless kings

And silent night with laughter fill.

Awake! Arise!

The cricket cries

And calls us to the nightly walk.

Why do you stay?

We must away!

At last has passed the burning day!
