Songs of Travel: II. Let Beauty Awake

Let Beauty awake in the morn from beautiful dreams,

Beauty awake from rest!

Let Beauty awake

For Beauty's sake

In the hour when the birds awake in the brake

And the stars are bright in the west!

Let Beauty awake in the eve from the slumber of day

Awake in the crimson eve!

In the day's dusk end

When the shades ascend

Let her wake to the kiss of a tender friend

To render again and receive!
