Frolic/ships

Famous quotes containing the words frolic and/or ships:

    The rapt One, of the godlike forehead,
    The heaven-eyed creature sleeps in earth:

    Has vanished from his lonely hearth.

    I saw three ships come sailing by,
    Come sailing by, come sailing by,
    I saw three ships come sailing by,
    On Christmas Day in the morning.
