King Asked

Famous quotes containing the words king and/or asked:

    I’ll stake all my soul
    on that beauty,
    till God shall awake
    again in men’s hearts,
    who have said he is dead
    our King and our Lover.

    Where no storms come,
    Where the green swell is in the havens dumb,
    And out of the swing of the sea.
