Evening, Midnight, Cockcrow, Dawn
Watchman, wake. Awake and rise!
You must be ready when the master comes.
Don’t let him catch you by surprise
in the evening,
at midnight,
at cockcrow
or at dawn.
Watchman: this charge is yours to keep.
The master comes in a sudden rush.
Don’t let him find you sound asleep
in the evening,
at midnight,
at cockcrow
or at dawn.
Watchman, wake. Open your eyes!
You cannot know the urgent hour,
the hour when the master of the house arrives
in the evening,
at midnight,
at cockcrow
or at dawn.
