Beautiful
Dreamer
Serenade
1Beautiful
dreamer,
wake
unto
me,
2Starlight
and
dewdrops
are
waiting
for
thee;
3Sounds
of
the
rude
world
heard
in
the
day,
4Lull'd
by
the
moonlight
have
all
pass'd
a
way!
5Beautiful
dreamer,
queen
of
my
song,
6List
while
I
woo
thee
with
soft
melody;
7Gone
are
the
cares
of
life's
busy
throng,
--
8Beautiful
dreamer,
awake
unto
me!
9Beautiful
dreamer
awake
unto
me!
10Beautiful
dreamer,
out
on
the
sea
11Mermaids
are
chaunting
the
wild
lorelie;
12Over
the
streamlet
vapors
are
borne,
13Waiting
to
fade
at
the
bright
coming
morn.
14Beautiful
dreamer,
beam
on
my
heart,
15E'en
as
the
morn
on
the
streamlet
and
sea;
16Then
will
all
clouds
of
sorrow
depart,
--
17Beautiful
dreamer,
awake
unto
me!
18Beautiful
dreamer,
awake
unto
me!
