You have risen from sleep

Carl Theodor Seiffert

You have risen from sleep

and are wandering through the meadow.

There lies over all the land

Heaven's wondrous blue.

As long as, free from cares,

you've been slumbering without pain,

Heaven has, up until the morning,

shed many tears.

In silent nights,

many weep from pain,

and in the morning you assume

their hearts are always light.
