Stealing Heaven

Famous quotes containing the words stealing and/or heaven:

    While he hears in every spring
    How the birds do chirp and sing:
    Or before the hounds in cry
    See the hare go stealing by:
    Or along the shallow brook,
    Angling with a baited hook,
    See the fishes leap and play
    In a blessed sunny day:
    Nicholas Breton (1542–1626)

    If Heaven a draught of heavenly pleasure spare,
    One cordial in this melancholy vale,
    ‘T is when a youthful, loving, modest pair
    In other’s arms breathe out the tender tale,
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)
