Songs

Famous quotes containing the word songs:

    We can never see Christianity from the catechism:Mfrom the pastures, from a boat in the pond, from amidst the songs of wood- birds we possibly may.

    What wondrous love is this
    That caused the Lord of bliss
    To bear the dreadful curse for my soul

    We who with songs beguile your pilgrimage
    And swear that Beauty lives though lilies die,
    We Poets of the proud old lineage
    Who sing to find your hearts, we know not why,
