Famous quotes containing the word song:

    “But see, the Virgin blest
    Hath laid her Babe to rest:
    Time is our tedious song should here have ending;
    Heaven’s youngest teemed star,
    Hath fixed her polished car,
    Her sleeping Lord with handmaid lamp attending;
    And all about the courtly stable,
    Bright-harnessed angels sit in order serviceable.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “I made my song a coat
    Covered with embroideries
    Out of old mythologies”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
