"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!
