Sweet Child

Famous quotes containing the words sweet and/or child:

“I thought of a mound in sweet Auburn
Where a little headstone stood;
How the flakes were folding it gently,
As did robins the babes in the wood.

Up spoke our own little Mabel,
Saying, “Father, who makes it snow?”
And I told of the good All-father
Who cares for us here below.”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

“Childhood itself is scarcely more lovely than a cheerful, kind, sunshiny old age.”
—Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)
