Rosy Finch

Famous quotes containing the words rosy and/or finch:

    “Shall I, wasting in despair,
    Die because a woman’s fair?

    ‘Cause another’s rosy are?”

    “No more shall the war cry sever,
    Or the winding rivers be red:
    They banish our anger forever
    When they laurel the graves of our dead!
    Under the sod and the dew,
    Waiting the Judgment Day:—
    Love and tears for the Blue;
    Tears and love for the Gray.”
    —Francis Miles Finch (1827–1907)
