Famous quotes containing the words cherry and/or mountain:
“Lay down, lay down the bigly bier,
Lat me the dead look on;
Wi’ cherry cheeks and ruby lips
She lay an’ smil’d on him.
O ae sheave o’ your bread, true-love,
An’ ae glass o’ your wine,
For I hae fasted for your sake
These fully day [is] nine.”

But the valley sheep are fatter;
We therefore deemed it meeter
To carry off the latter.”
