***** This short, poignant lyric contrasts GRANDIOSE CELESTIAL WEALTH with FRAGILE HUMN VULNERABILITY. The person in the poem is facing the stark reality of worldly poverty and scraping by. But they offer to someone they love - a raw, beating heart with inner dreams instead of jewels.
***Irish poet, prose writer and dramatist, William Butler Yeats (d. 1939), had a lifelong interest in mysticism, astrology, spiritualism and folklore. Thanks to the Texas Christian University Frog TTBB chorus (Nikos Myrogiannis-Koukos, graduate conductor) for the recording!
