Blushing Brides

Famous quotes containing the words blushing and/or brides:

    Short is the glory of the blushing rose,
    The hue which thou so carefully dost nourish,
    Yet which at length thou must be forced to lose.
    Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)

    I sing of brooks, of blossoms, birds and bowers,
    Of April, May, of June and July-flowers;
    I sing of May-poles, hock-carts, wassails, wakes,
    Of bridegrooms, brides and of their bridal cakes;
    I write of youth, of love, and have access
    By these to sing of cleanly wantonness;
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
