A figure of speech, where "heart" does not refer to the actual muscle, but to our emotional centre. It goes back to ancient misconceptions about human physiology, as people used to think that the heart held pretty much all of the functions that are actually associated with the brain.

A "longing heart", then, is synonymous with yearning, craving, or indeed: longing (without the "heart" added).

Interestingly enough, the German noun that expresses the same sentiment is "Sehnsucht", which would literally translate as something like "pine-addiction", or "yearn-dependency", although it originally meant something along the lines of "love-sickness".
