Voice Cards

Famous quotes containing the words voice and/or cards:

“‘Stay—stay with us!—rest—thou art
weary and worn!’—
And fain was their war-broken soldier to stay;—
But sorrow return’d with the dawning of morn,
And the voice in my dreaming ear melted away.”
—Thomas Campbell (1774–1844)

“Oft have I played at cards and dice,
Because they were so enticing;
But this is a sad and sorrowful day
To see my apron rising.”
—Unknown. The Rantin Laddie (l. 1–4)
