A CARELESS HEART by DORA SIGERSON SHORTER

First Line: THE WIND HAS BLOWN MY HEART AWAY
Last Line: THE WIND DID BLOW MY HEART AWAY.
Subject(s): LOVE; WIND;

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.
