DREAMS
Reading edition
If you’ve a dream at heart, lad, Some wilfull, noble plan, Then cherish it within, lad, And tell it to no man. To friend and foe alike be dumb On what you plan to do, And keep that secret chamber locked Until the work is through. For I had dreams at heart, boy, But talked them all away, And now I needs must start, boy, To dream anew today.
