WHAT COMES OF DREAMS

Oh why so many dreams bestowed

In young and tender year

Fall into drifting dust decay  

Then sadly disappear



Are dreams to blame for broken hearts

And quiet hour’s remorse

Or is the dreamer born of guilt

For vearing from its course



Are dreams unfair for rising up

To skies in gloried hugh

Perhaps they take no time for thought

And ask too much to do



But would a dream be such a thing

If every hand could reach

What treasure would it bring to bare

What lesson would it teach



Ne’re let my soul be daunted down

To stand amongst the crowd

And watch with idle faithless feet

While mundain cares enshroud



No, I will dare to dream above

Midst Heaven’s briliant streams

And quiet vigil watch and keep

Til come…

What comes of dreams
