Enchanting Dreams: Lola Kirke's Beautiful Dreamer Unveiled
Lyrics
1.
Beautiful dreamer, the speaker is addressing someone they find captivating and dreamlike.
Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
Wake up to the speaker; acknowledge their presence or affection.
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee
Reference to a serene night with starlight and dewdrops, creating an atmospheric setting.
Sounds of the rude world, heard in the day,
Contrast between the peaceful night and the harsh sounds of the real world during the day.
Lull'd by the moonlight have all passed away!
The disturbances of the day have faded away under the influence of moonlight.
Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,
The dreamer is described as the queen of the speaker's song, emphasizing their importance.
List while I woo thee with soft melody
The speaker is wooing the dreamer with a soft melody, expressing romantic intentions.
Gone are the cares of life's busy throng,
All the worries of a busy life have disappeared; the focus is on the dreamer.
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Repetition of the request for the dreamer to wake up, reinforcing the desire for connection.
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Reiteration of the plea for the dreamer to awaken, emphasizing its importance.
2.
Transition to a new stanza with continued emphasis on the dreamer.
Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea,
The dreamer is now envisioned out at sea, with mermaids singing the lorelei, adding a mythical element.
Mermaids are chanting the wild lorelei
Reference to the captivating and dangerous song of the lorelei, adding a sense of allure.
Over the streamlet vapors are borne,
Imagery of vapors over a streamlet, creating a dreamy atmosphere awaiting the bright morning.
Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn.
The vapors will fade as the morning arrives, symbolizing the fleeting nature of dreams.
Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart,
The dreamer is asked to shine on the speaker's heart, reinforcing the positive impact of their presence.
Even as the morn on the streamlet and sea
Comparison of the dreamer's light to the morning on a streamlet and sea, suggesting renewal.
Then will all clouds of sorrow depart,
Anticipation that all clouds of sorrow will disappear in the presence of the beautiful dreamer.
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Repetition of the plea for the dreamer to awaken, reinforcing the speaker's desire for connection.
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Reiteration of the importance of the dreamer awakening, bringing the song to a close.
