Rise up!

O dear! why thine eyes

wet and cold

What thoughts in thy heart 

unsaid, untold

Tears and pain, thee mumble

not say loud

Thou too tired O dear,

all that noisy crowd?

I lend thee my hand dear,

for thou have fallen and hurt

Would thou hold my hand dear?

hold it, let's get up

Silence, all there would be

wouldn’t be said, a word

Silence though it would be, 

Thou would not be unheard

(She rises! looks into eyes)

O thine eyes dear!

I hear their say

Why thy tears dance,

What thy pray'rs pray!

Of those words I have,

'tis this I say:

Thou not give up,

one another assay

Do not give up,

thou be wise

Even the darkest night ends,

the sun rise.
