The Collected Poems of Dora Sigerson Shorter/A Careless Heart

by Dora Sigerson Shorter

A CARELESS HEART

The wind has blown my heart away
All on a summer holiday.
If you can find it, pray you tell,
For this is how the loss befell:

If you will now my tale believe,
I wore my heart upon my sleeve,
So came it that, alack the day!
The wind did blow my heart away.
