| | | AWAKE, awake, O gracious heart, | |
| There’s some one knocking at the door; | |
| The chilling breezes make him smart; | |
| His little feet are tired and sore. | |
| |
| Arise and welcome him before | 5 |
| Adown his cheeks the big tears start; | |
| Awake, awake, O gracious heart, | |
| There’s some one knocking at the door! | |
| |
| ’Tis Cupid come with loving art | |
| To honor, worship, and implore; | 10 |
| And lest, unwelcomed, he depart | |
| With all his wise, mysterious lore, | |
| Awake, awake, O gracious heart, | |
| There’s some one knocking at the door! | | | | |
