Thy

Famous quotes containing the word thy:

“Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion city of our God!
He, whose word cannot be broken, Form’d for thee his own abode:
On the rock of ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation’s walls surrounded Thou may’st smile at all thy foes.”
—John Newton (1725–1807)

“Thou all sweetness dost enclose
Like a little world of bliss.
Beauty guards thy looks: the rose
In them pure and eternal is.”
—Thomas Campion (1567–1620)

“And we passed to the end of a vista,
But were stopped by the door of a tomb—
By the door of a legended tomb;
And I said—” What is written, sweet sister,
On the door of this legended tomb?”
She replied—”Ulalume—Ulalume!—
‘Tis the vault of thy lost Ulalume!””
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
