Famous quotes containing the word songs:

    “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)

    “When I am dead, my dearest, Sing no sad songs for me;
    Plant thou no roses at my head, Nor shady cypress tree:
    Be the green grass above me With showers and dewdrops wet;
    And if thou wilt, remember, And if thou wilt, forget.”
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    “How learned he bitter songs of lost Iambe,
    Or that a cup-shaped breast is nothing vile?”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
