Beautiful Dreamer by Stephen Collins Foster

Beautiful dreamer,wake unto me;
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,
Lulled by the moonlight have all passed 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, awake unto me.
Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea,
Mermaids are chanting the wild Lorelei;
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.
