Famous quotes containing the word collins:
“The head must bow, and the back will have to bend,
Wherever the darkey may go;
A few more days, and the trouble all will end,
In the field where the sugar-canes grow.
A few more days for to tote the weary load,
No matter, t will never be light;
A few more days till we totter on the road:
Then my old Kentucky home, good-night!”
—Stephen Collins Foster (18261884)

Tis summer, the darkeys are gay;
The corn-tops ripe, and the meadows in the bloom,”

“All up and down the whole creation,
Sadly I roam,
Still longing for the old plantation,
And for the old folks at home.”
