Famous quotes with Carol

  • I know what the caged bird feels, alas!      When the sun is bright on the upland slopes; When the wind blows soft through the springing grass, And the river floats like a stream of glass;      When the first bird sings and the first bud opes, And the faint perfume from its chalice steals— I know what the caged bird feels!I know why the caged bird beats his wing      Till its blood is red on the cruel bars; For he must fly back to his perch and cling When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;      And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars And they pulse again with a keener sting— I know why he beats his wing!I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,      When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,— When he beats his bars and he would be free; It is not a carol of joy or glee,      But a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core, But a plea that upward to Heaven he flings— I know why the caged bird sings!
    Paul Laurence Dunbar
  • Unfortunately there is nothing more inane than an Easter carol. It is a religious perversion of the activity of Spring in our blood.
    Wallace Stevens
  • Whether we wake or we sleep, Whether we carol or weep, The Sun with his Planets in chime, Marketh the going of Time.
    Edward FitzGerald (poet)
  • Though richest hues the peacock's plumes adorn, Yet horror screams from his discordant throat. Rise, sons of harmony, and hail the morn, While warbling larks on russet pinions float; Or seek at noon the woodland scene remote, Where the gray linnets carol from the hill: O let them ne'er, with artificial note, To please a tyrant, strain the little bill, But sing what heaven inspires, and wander where they will.
    James Beattie
  • The moon, full-orbed, forsakes her watery cave, And lifts her lovely head above the wave; The snowy splendours of her modest ray Stream o'er the glistening waves, and quivering play; Around her, glittering on the heaven's arched brow, Unnumbered stars, enclosed in azure, glow, Thick as the dew-drops of the April dawn, Or May-flowers crowding o'er the daisy lawn; The canvas whitens in the silvery beam, And with a mild pale-red the pendants gleam; The masts' tall shadows tremble o'er the deep; The peaceful winds a holy silence keep; The watchman's carol, echoed from the prows, Alone, at times, awakes the still repose.
    William Julius Mickle
