Robin

Famous quotes containing the word robin:

“‘Lay me a green sod under my head,
And another at my feet;
And lay my bent bow at my side,
Which was my music sweet;
And make my grave of gravel and green,
Which is most right and meet.”

To smell, to crumble the dark earth,
While the robin sings over again
Sad songs of Autumn mirth.”

You’re cuter than Venus and what’s more you’ve got arms.”
