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!
beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
