An old song resounds in the present moment, gathering together a bouquet of painterly lilies, asking to be a gift for this point in time. Composed by Stephen Foster, Beautiful Dreamer speaks to a transition guided by love. These images of lilies upon sunlit skies, paired with lyrics, have been created in honor of those who have passed during this pandemic, in compassionate stance for the loved ones who grieve, and in appreciative respect for those skillful and dedicated caregivers who are the bedside hearts and hands for us all.

Beautiful dreamers, may your souls rest in peace, remembering love, always.

Lyrics to Beautiful DreamerÂ
1) 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 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!
2) 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!
Lyrics by Stephen Foster, 1864
