Spoke French

Famous quotes containing the words spoke and/or french:

    “I thought of a mound in sweet Auburn
    Where a little headstone stood;
    How the flakes were folding it gently,
    As did robins the babes in the wood.

    Up spoke our own little Mabel,
    Saying, “Father, who makes it snow?”
    And I told of the good All-father
    Who cares for us here below.”
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    “The third day of Christmas,
    My true love sent to me
    Three French hens,”
    —Unknown. The Twelve Days of Christmas (l. 8–10)
