Beautiful Dreamer
Stephen Foster
Beautiful 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 throng,-
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! |
