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 stremlets, 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 cares and sorrows depart,
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me,
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me.
