Sun, be not hesitant! Come forth! Be bright!
Dark clouds shroud the sky; my spirit is weak!
I pray thee, take courage and shine with might!
A contest ensues in celestial height –
The clouds so commanding, and thou, so meek!
Sun, be not hesitant! Come forth! Be bright!
Combat the gloom that makes day seem as night!
Let not the grim rainclouds unhappiness wreak!
I pray thee, take courage and shine with might!
O, Sun! Be triumphant! (He turns! He fights!)
Defeated, the Dark flees with piercing shriek!
Sun, be not hesitant! Come forth! Be bright!
The once grey world now bathed in cheery light!
Thy warm, sweet caress still nervous and weak –
I pray thee, take courage and shine with might!
Endure! Endure! What a beautiful sight!
O heav’n, my face will forever light seek!
Sun, be not hesitant! Come forth! Be bright!
I pray thee, take courage and shine with might!
