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 passed 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 chanting 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!...
