Song And Movie




Beautiful Dreamer
(Words and Music by Stepen 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, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea
Mermaids are chanting 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!
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!



I heard "Beautiful Dreamer" by Stephen Foster without intention the other day, and remembered a movie, "A River Runs Through It".
They are both so quiet, and the words and feelings from the heart. I have been deeply moved by the tune and story. And they are always on my mind, going round and round and I can't stop it."Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee" and "In my family, there was no clear division between religion and fly fishing" gave me the same experience, and I seemed to hear a voice from Paradise, to go through a period of beautiful life and to see a rainbow arching across the sky. Oh, at this time, I just want to close eyes and feel the sunshine and breeze...
