Beautiful Dreamer Serenade

1Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me, 
2Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee; 
3Sounds of the rude world heard in the day, 
4Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd a way! 

5Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song, 
6List while I woo thee with soft melody; 
7Gone are the cares of life's busy throng, -- 
8Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me! 
9Beautiful dreamer awake unto me! 

10Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea 
11Mermaids are chaunting the wild lorelie; 
12Over the streamlet vapors are borne, 
13Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn. 

14Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart, 
15E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea; 
16Then will all clouds of sorrow depart, -- 
17Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me! 
18Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
