E’en man, the earth’s ruler,
Awaits thy command;
His fetters of slumber
Are broke by thy hand.
From sleep he ariseth
To toil and to care,
Till evening’s rich lustre
Hath vanished from air.
Yet art thou but agent,—
The servant of him
E’en man, the earth’s ruler,
Awaits thy command;
His fetters of slumber
Are broke by thy hand.
From sleep he ariseth
To toil and to care,
Till evening’s rich lustre
Hath vanished from air.
Yet art thou but agent,—
The servant of him
