Stephen fosterBeautiful dreamer, wake unto me,Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,Lull’d by the moonlight have all pass’d away!Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,List while I woo thee with soft melody;Gone are the cares of life’s busy throngBeautiful dreamer, awake unto me!Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea,Mermaids are chaunting the wild lorelie;Over the streamlet vapors are borne,Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn.Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart,E’en as the morn on the streamlet and sea;Then will all clouds of sorrow depart,Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
