Stephen C. (1826-1864)

Beautiful Serenade

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

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

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

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