No the heart must hold fast


The heart doesn't desire,
that's foolish talk

The loins might desire
the head certainly does.

But the heart retires
from such, it has work to do

The heart stays busy
it hasn't idle hands.

Now the eyes may glance
instead of hold fast

But the heart can't skip
or none will last

Long enough for some
mind to dream a desire.

No, the heart must hold fast.
