Robert Louis Stevenson Quotes About Spring

Quotes about: Spring

• Flower god, god of the spring, beautiful, bountiful,
  Cold-dyed shield in the sky, lover of versicles,
  Here I wander in April
  Cold, grey-headed; and still to my
  Heart, Spring comes with a bound, Spring the deliverer,
  Spring, song-leader in woods, chorally resonant;
  Spring, flower-planter in meadows,
  Child-conductor in willowy
  Fields deep dotted with bloom, daisies and crocuses:
  Here that child from his heart drinks of eternity:
  O child, happy are children!

  Robert Louis Stevenson

  Beautiful, Song, Children

• In winter I get up at night
  And dress by yellow candle-light.
  In summer quite the other way,
  I have to go to bed by day.
  
  I have to go to bed and see
  The birds still hopping on the tree,
  Or hear the grown-up people's feet
  Still going past me in the street.
  
  And does it not seem hard to you,
  When all the sky is clear and blue,
  And I should like so much to play,
  To have to go to bed by day?

  Robert Louis Stevenson

  Summer, Spring, Winter

  A Child's Garden of Verses "Bed in Summer" l. 1 (1885)

• It is the property of things seen for the first time, or for the first time after long, like the flowers in spring, to reawaken in us the sharp edge of sense and that impression of mystic strangeness which otherwise passes out of life with the coming of years; but the sight of a loved face is what renews a man's character from the fountain upwards.

  Robert Louis Stevenson

  Spring, Flower, Character

• When the grass was closely mown,
  Walking on the lawn alone,
  In the turf a hole I found,
  And hid a soldier underground.
  
  Spring and daisies came apace;
  Grasses hide my hiding place;
  Grasses run like a green sea
  O'er the lawn up to my knee.

  Robert Louis Stevenson

  Running, Spring, Sea

• And my heart springs up anew,
  Bright and confident and true,
  And the old love comes to meet me, in the dawning and the dew.
