Subject: RE: Lines that really grab you
When out of blossomed Normandy another pirate came.

I've a neater, sweeter maiden in a cleaner, greener land.

O Thou Who changest not, abide with me!

I hear the noise of wings.

And she said, No I don't, but you kiss just fine.

And if ever you heard a little dog bark,

She makes a small hole in the frost on the window,

Say, don't you remember, I'm you pal.

Walking in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn.

While Joseph stood around.

Where many a rooster like himself stood waiting for his tea.

And so far, no dead ends.

I'll get myself up in some right high degree.

The sun shines owre the westlin hills by the lamplicht o the mune,

Grind, children, grind for a clear and wakeful mind

First flower of their wilderness, star of their night

Glorior labore.

When friends by shame are undefiled,

And turns to set the mirror, gently, face down by the stove,

Die Liebe dauert, oder dauert nicht

Wenn sich die spaeten Nebel dreh'n

And some of them will marry, and one will marry me.

Tonight there'll be but three.

The silent stars go by.

Goodnight, and joy be with you all.

Alas, it was to none but me.

Rechka dvizhitsa i ne dvizhitsa,

Your face will shine through all our tears.

And in the fight that followed

Till I want to go out and swear.

A dragon lives forever, but no so, little boys.

Put my boots on tall, read the writing on the wall,

Married girl, married girl, rocks the cradle and cries.

We weren't lovers like that, and besides, it would still be all right.

I think of you often, I like you a lot,

Getting older every day, I'm a fair-weather bum.

Chickens crowing on Sourwood Mountain.

Brave bracelets strong, sweet whips ding-dong
