Скачать или смотреть The Dream Man | 1903 Ripley

🌠👶🛌[Lyrics in Norwegian and English below]
This sweet, and quite quaint lullaby with a faintly "Russian melodic feel" to it; "The Dream Man", was published in 1903:15 ni "Harmonic second reader", by Frederic H. Ripley and Thomas Tapper (https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?i.... Tekstforfatter og komponist er ukjent.

The illustration is by Leonard Leslie Brooke, published in "Ring o' roses; a nursery rhyme picture book, with numerous drawings in colour and black-and-white" (https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?i....

The poem refers to the dream man in popular folk culture, often called Wee Willie Winkie, who goes around at night, making sure the children sleep, much like the Scandinavian Ole Lukkøye (Ole Shut-Eye) does when he arrives at night with his Dream Umbrella.

Here are the words:

Through the dark softly stealing,
Comes the Dream Man near,
Stops at ev'ry door and whispers,
"Live there children here?"

Up the stairs goes he creeping
With a dream for you;
All his dreams are merry,
And merry dreams are true.

Lu, lu lu... repeat.

Her er min gjendiktning av 03.03.2026:

"Drømmemannen" stille lister,
Nå, fra dør til dør.
Stopper ved hver trapp og hvisker:
"Barna sove bør!"

Og om natten sniker han seg
Rundt med drøm til deg.
Hver en drøm er fin og glad,
Og hver glad drøm er sann.
