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! |
