“Though the dream of love may tire,
In the ages long agone
There were ruby hearts of fire —
Ah, the daughters of the dawn!”

Till the tired heart shall cease to palpitate.”

Catch The Wind (1965)
Context: When rain has hung the leaves with tears
I want you near to kill my fears,
To help me to leave all my blues behind. For standin' in your heart
Is where I want to be
And long to be,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.
“Trust your heart if the seas catch fire, live by love though the stars walk backward.”
Variant: Trust your heart if the seas catch fire, live by love though the stars walk backwards.
“Trust your heart if the seas catch fire and live by love though the stars walk backwards.”

Context: p>If this is a dream, then perhaps our dreaming
Can touch life's height to a finer fire:
Who knows but the heavens and all their seeming
Were made by the heart's desire?One thing shines clear in the heart's sweet reason,
One lightning over the chasm runs —
That to turn from love is the world's one treason
That darkens all the suns.</p
“Ah! when shall it dawn on the night of the grave!”
The Hermit
