Beautiful Serenade

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

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

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

14Beautiful dreamer, on my heart,
15E'en as the morn on the and sea;
16Then all clouds of sorrow depart, --
17Beautiful dreamer, unto me!
18Beautiful dreamer, awake me!
