Beautiful Dreamer

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

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

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

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