Yiddish Art Songs

Famous quotes containing the words art and/or songs:

    Sweet Benjamin, since thou art young,
    And hast not yet the use of tongue,
    Make it thy slave, while thou art free;
    Imprison it, lest it do thee.
    John Hoskyns (1566–1638)

    On a cloud I saw a child,
    And he laughing said to me,

    “Pipe a song about a Lamb”;
    So I piped with merry chear.
    “Piper pipe that song again”—
    So I piped, he wept to hear.

    “Drop thy pipe thy happy pipe
    Sing thy songs of happy chear”;
    So I sung the same again
    While he wept with joy to hear.
    William Blake (1757–1827)
