''After a night's untroubled slumber

''Body and mind lie stronger.

''And after a winter dull and sombre

''Brilliant days shine longer.

''Wake up! Windows glow with promise of a day

''That you'll spend in freshest air and sweetest sunlight.

''The sunlight is creeping in

''The room that you're sleeping in.
