Famous quotes containing the word wake:

    Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
    Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
    Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,
    Lull’d by the moonlight have all pass’d away.
    Stephen Collins Foster (1826–1864)

    We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
    By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
    Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    I will not do thee so much wrong to wake thee.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
