The Dreams of the Dreamer

by Georgia Douglas Johnson

The dreams of the dreamer
    Are life-drops that pass
The break in the heart
    To the soul’s hour-glass.

The songs of the singer
    Are tones that repeat
The cry of the heart
    ‘Till it ceases to beat.

From The Heart of a Woman and Other Poems (1918), by Georgia Douglas Johnson.
