Though most eds prefer the SnE reading rísa ‘arise, get up’, giving the sense ‘I thought I arose before daybreak’, the repetition of rísa in l. 6 is then clumsy, and indeed, it is easier to see how that second rísa should have given rise to the reading in SnE than to explain lítlu as a corruption of rísa.
