Beautiful dreamer, dear to my heart
Let your troubles quickly depart
List while I lull thee with soft melody
Beautiful dreamer, sleep there for me
Beautiful dreamer, darling to see
Crickets are chirping in rich harmony
All around fireflies dance in the dark
Waiting to fade out at dawn’s first spark
Beautiful dreamer, precious to me
Starlight and dewdrops now glisten for thee
Sounds of the wide world heard in the day
Lulled by the moonlight have all passed away
Beautiful dreamer, princess of night
Gone be thy cares, rest well tonight
May this sweet slumber fill thee with glee
Beautiful Malala, good night to thee
