William Allingham Quotes

«Now Autumn's fire burns slowly along the woodsAnd day by day the dead leaves fall and melt.»
«Writing is learning to say nothing, more cleverly each day.»
«Autumn's the mellow time.»
«Scarcely a tear to shed;Hardly a word to say;The end of a Summer's day;Sweet Love is dead.»
«She danced a jig, she sung a song that took my heart away.»
«Four ducks on a pond, / A grass-bank beyond, / A blue sky of spring, / White clouds on the wing: / What a little thing / To remember for years - / To remember with tears!»
«A man who keeps a diary pays, Due toll to many tedious days; But life becomes eventful - then, His busy hand forgets the pen. Most books, indeed, are records less Of fulness than of emptiness.»
«But this is not my little bed;That time is far away;With strangers now I live instead,From dreary day to day.»
«And in a chair well-knownMy mother sat, and did not tireWith reading all alone.If I should make the slightest soundTo show that I'm awake,She'd rise, and lap the blankets round,My pillow softly shake;Kiss me, and turn my face to seeThe shadows on the wall,And then sing Rousseau's Dream to me,Till fast asleep I fall.»
«Before a day was over,Home comes the rover,For mother's kiss?sweeter thisThan any other thing!»
