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, out on the sea
Mermaids are chanting the wild Lorelei
Over the streamlet vapors are born
Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn
Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart
Even as the morn on the streamlet and sea
Then will all clouds of sorrow depart
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
