Awakening

I cover my face to avoid daylight Shining blindingly through the window shade. For the wonderful dream I had tonight, This morning awakening should be delayed. How to extend the sleep and the bedtime And not to let this illusion be lost, But I should get up, once again, to climb The highest peaks despite eternal frost. That night dream may never return to me, This morning I may have too much to lose, Yet, I let the sun wake me up softly; It gives me hope that I cannot refuse.
