Stephen C. (1826-1864)

Beautiful Serenade

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

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

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

14Beautiful dreamer, on my heart,
as the morn on the streamlet and sea;
16Then will all of sorrow depart, --
dreamer, awake unto me!
18Beautiful dreamer, unto me!
