Piped Water

Famous quotes containing the words piped and/or water:

“On a cloud I saw a child,
And he laughing said to me,

“Pipe a song about a Lamb”;
So I piped with merry chear.

“Drop thy pipe thy happy pipe
Sing thy songs of happy chear”;
So I sung the same again
While he wept with joy to hear.”

Which falls into mine ears as profitless
As water in a sieve.”
