If Only We Have Love (1957)
Context: If we only have love
We will never bow down
We'll be tall as the pines
Neither heroes nor clowns.
If we only have love
Then we'll only be men
And we'll drink from the Grail
To be born once again;
Then with nothing at all
But the little we are
We'll have conquered all time
All space, the sun, and the stars!

And we'll drink from the Grail

Then with nothing at all
But the little we are
We'll have conquered all time
All space, the sun, and the stars.
“But not all men seek rest and peace; some are born with the spirit of the storm in their blood.”
