The Invigorating Dawn

Awake,

O Krishna awake, the night has gone arise, no longer laze breathe the pure air of early morn; the cowherd-lads come and gaze at you,
and seeing you asleep, depart as swarms of bumblebees fly from the lotus clusters.

O darling boy, dark as the tamala, if you don't believe me, open your large eyes and see for yourself.
