Famous quotes containing the words autumn, dowie and/or silver:

    “And Change with hurried hand has swept these scenes:
    The woods have fallen, across the meadow-lot
    The hunter’s trail and trap-path is forgot,
    And fire has drunk the swamps of evergreens;
    Yet for a moment let my fancy plant
    These autumn hills again: the wild dove’s haunt,
    The wild deer’s walk: in golden umbrage shut,”
    —Frederick Goddard Tuckerman (1821–1873)

    ““O haud your tongue, my father dear,
    An’ dinna grieve your Sarah;
    A better lord was never born
    Than him I lost on Yarrow.”
    —Unknown. The Dowie Houms o’ Yarrow (l. 53–56)

    ““Of fayre Elisa be your silver song,
    That blessed wight:
    The flowre of virgins, may shee florish long
    In princely plight.”
    —Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)
