Beautiful Serenade

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

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

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

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