Stephen C. (1826-1864)

Dreamer Serenade

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

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

dreamer, out on the sea
11Mermaids are chaunting the wild
12Over the streamlet are borne,
13Waiting to fade at the coming morn.

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