Original text and translations
English text
- 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!
Lyrics: Robert Louis Stevenson - (1850-1894) - from "Songs of Travel".
