arise fair moon in silken light
and kiss the earth a sweet goodnight.
covered in resplendent rays
keeping all within your gaze.
.
arise and seek ye those who weep,
those that tarry from their sleep
and comfort found in soft imbue
that they may have a friend in you.
.
arise and bring the nightingale,
pray jasmine bloom upon your hail.
play your music on the waters
for watchful sons and bathing daughters.
.
arise, arise, be done the day
in your softness we will lay.
in your calm and soothing care,
glad that God has put you there.
