One man awake,
   Awakens another.
The second awakens
   His next-door brother.
The three awake can rouse a town
   By turning
   The whole place
   Upside down.
The many awake
   Can make such a fuss
It finally awakens
   The rest of us.
One man up,
   With dawn in his eyes,
   Surely then
   Multiplies.
