W:Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea
W:Mermaids are chanting the wild lorelie;
W:Over the streamlet vapors are borne,
W:Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn.
W:Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart,
W:E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea;
W:Then will all clouds of sorrow depart,
W:Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
W:Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
