Willow Song

Famous quotes containing the words willow and/or song:

    Lay a garland on my hearse,
    Of the dismal yew;
    Maidens, willow branches bear;
    Say I died true.
    Francis Beaumont (1584-1616)

    The quarrel of the sparrows in the eaves,
    The full round moon and the star-laden sky,
    And the loud song of the ever-singing leaves,
    Had hid away earth’s old and weary cry.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
