IF HEARTS ARE DUST, by JAMES TERRY WHITE Poet's Biography
First Line: If hearts are dust, hearts' loves remain
Last Line: If hearts are dust.
Subject(s): Immortality
First Line: If hearts are dust, hearts' loves remain
Last Line: If hearts are dust.
Subject(s): Immortality
If hearts are dust, hearts' loves remain,
And somewhere, far beyond the plane
Of earthly thought, beyond the sea
That bounds this life, they will meet thee,
And hold thee face to face again;
And when is done life's restless reign,
If I hereafter but regain
Heart's love, why should I troubled be
If hearts are dust?
By love's indissoluble chain
I know the grave does not retain
Heart's love; the very faith in me
Is pledge of an eternity,
Where I shall find heart's love again,
If hearts are dust.
