Ralph Vaughan Williams
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!
