Note
Whatever it describes, this form never takes an object: things rise on their own. A road that slopes upward, a sleeper leaving bed and the sun clearing the horizon all use it the same way (the sun rises, she rises early). When a person lifts something else, rises is the wrong verb. The river rises, but nobody rises the river.
The road rises steeply beyond the bridge.
She rises before dawn every morning.
