Famous quotes containing the word flowers:

    “My love is fair, my love is gay,
    As fresh as bin the flowers in May
    And of my love my roundelay,
    My merry, merry, merry roundelay,

    ‘They that do change old love for new
    Pray gods they change for worse!’”

    For the faded flowers gay
    That could take me from beside you
    For the ages of a day?”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Strew’d flowers upon the barren way,
    Making the wintry world appear
    Like one on whom thou smilest, dear.”
