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!
