Beautiful Dreamer

Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,  

Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee; 

Sounds of the rude world heard in the day, 

Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away! 

Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song, 

List while I woo thee with soft melody; 

Gone are the cares of life's busy throng. 

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me! 

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me! 

Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea, 

Mermaids are chaunting the wild lorelie; 

Over the streamlet vapors are borne, 

Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn. 

Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart,  

E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea; 

Then will all clouds of sorrow depart, 

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
