Stephen C. (1826-1864)

Dreamer Serenade

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

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

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

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