The Archer is wake!
The Swan is flying!
Gold against blue / An Arrow is lying.
There is hunting in heaven -- / Sleep safe till to-morrow.
The Bears are abroad!
The Eagle is screaming!
Gold against blue / Their eyes are gleaming!
Sleep!
Sleep safe till to-morrow.
The Sisters lie / With their arms intertwining; / Gold against blue / Their hair is shining!
The Serpent writhes!
Orion is listening!
Gold against blue / His sword is glistening!
Sleep!
There is hunting in heaven -- / Sleep safe till to-morrow.
