The rooster sounds its morning call

Rousing the world in a rosy blush,

The sun rises from its nightly slumber

And casts its rays across a sparkling sea.

Sparrows chirp and blackbirds sing

Eagles soar across a brightening sky

The sleepy town begins to wake

And starts the day anew.

The knocker-up blows his horn

The children gather in the square

The fishermen sling their nets and rods

And head on out to sea.
