The Garden of Dreams
Bliss Carman
1861 to 1929
My heart is a garden of dreams
Where you walk when day is done,
Fair as the royal flowers,
Calm as the lingering sun.
Never a drouth comes there,
Nor any frost that mars,
Only the wind of love
Under the early stars,—
The living breath that moves
Whispering to and fro,
Like the voice of God in the dusk
Of the garden long ago.
Bliss Carman's The Garden of Dreams
I am busy working to bring Bliss Carman's "The Garden of Dreams" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Bliss Carman's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "The Garden of Dreams" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
