- 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 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!
