Singing Grass

Famous quotes containing the words singing and/or grass:

    The cuckoo is a lazy bird,
    She never builds a nest,
    She makes herself busy
    By singing to the rest.
    Unknown. The Cuckoo (l. 9–12)

    Give me the splendid silent sun
    with all his beams full-dazzling,
    Give me juicy autumnal fruit ripe and red from the orchard,
    Give me a field where the unmow’d grass grows,
    Give me an arbor, give me the trellis’d grape,
    Give me fresh corn and wheat, give me serene-moving animals teaching content,
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
