Famous quotes containing the words water and/or summer:

    The water for which we may have to look
    In summertime with a witching wand,
    In every wheelrut’s now a brook,
    In every print of a hoof a pond.

    In a valley late bees with whining gold
    Thread summer to the loose ends of sleep....
