Famous quotes containing the word songs:

    Blues are the songs of despair, but gospel songs are the songs of hope.
    Mahalia Jackson (1911–1972)

    And our sov’reign sole Creator
    Lives eternal in the sky,
    While we mortals yield to nature,
    Bloom awhile, then fade and die.

    We who with songs beguile your pilgrimage
    And swear that Beauty lives though lilies die,
    We Poets of the proud old lineage
    Who sing to find your hearts, we know not why,
    James Elroy Flecker (1884–1919)
