Happy Highwayman

Famous quotes containing the words happy and/or highwayman:

    If strange men come from the house
    To lead her away do not say
    That she is happy being crazy;
    Lead gently astray;
    Let her finish her dance,
    Let her finish her dance.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
    And the highwayman came riding—
    Riding—riding—
    The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.
    Alfred Noyes (1880–1958)
