Famous quotes containing the word willow:

    Make me a willow cabin at your gate,
    And call upon my soul within the house;
    Write loyal cantons of contemned love,
    And sing them loud even in the dead of night;
    Halloo your name to the reverberate hills,
    And make the babbling gossip of the air
    Cry out “Olivia!” O, you should not rest
    Between the elements of air and earth
    But you should pity me.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    My mother dandled me and sang,
    “How young it is, how young!”
    And made a golden cradle
    That on a willow swung.
    “He went away,” my mother sang,
    “When I was brought to bed....”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    There is a willow grows aslant a brook
    That shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
