Updated September 23, 2019 | Infoplease Staff "The Dreams of My Heart"The dreams of my heart and my mind pass, Nothing stays with me long, But I have had from a child The deep solace of song;If that should ever leave me, Let me find death and stay With things whose tunes are played out and forgotten Like the rain of yesterday.
