Famous quotes containing the word cities:

“Over the tree-tops I float thee a song,
Over the rising and sinking waves, over the myriad fields and the

Over the dense-packed cities all and the teeming wharves and ways,
I float this carol with joy, with joy to thee, O death,”

Along the stormy coast,
Penn’s town, New York, Baltimore,
If Boston knew the most!”
