Hold Fast Your Dreams
Hold fast your dreams! Within your heart Keep one still, secret spot Where dreams may go, And, sheltered so, May thrive and grow Where doubt and fear are not. O keep a place apart, Within you heart, For little dreams to go!
Think still of lovely things that are not true. Let wish and magic work at will in you. Be sometimes blind to sorrow. Make believe! Forget the calm that lies In disillusioned eyes. Though we all know that we must die, Yet you and I May walk like gods and be Even now at home in immortality.
We see so many ugly things - Deceits and wrongs and quarrelings; We know, alas! we know How quickly fade The color in the west, The bloom upon the flower, The bloom upon the breast And youth's blind hour. A place apart Where little dreams may go, May thrive and grow, Hold fast - hold fast your dreams!
