William Morris Quotes About Flowers

Quotes about: Flowers

• Speak not, move not, but listen, the sky is full of gold. No ripple on the river, no stir in field or fold, All gleams but naught doth glisten, but the far-off unseen sea. Forget days past, heart broken, put all memory by! No grief on the green hillside, no pity in the sky, Joy that may not be spoken fills mead and flower and tree.

• I know a little garden close
  Set thick with lily and red rose,
  Where I would wander if I might
  From dewy dawn to dewy night.
  And have one with me wandering.

  In early spring, when the roads were dry;

  Two red roses across the moon.
