Alfred Lord Tennyson Quotes About Winter

Quotes about: Winter

• Full knee-deep lies the winter snow,
  And the winter winds are wearily sighing:
  Toll ye the church bell sad and slow,
  And tread softly and speak low,
  For the old year lies a-dying.
  Old year you must not die;
  You came to us so readily,
  You lived with us so steadily,
  Old year you shall not die.

  Alfred Lord Tennyson

  Lying, Winter, Church Bells

• Behold, we know not anything;
  I can but trust that good shall fall
  At last-far off-at last, to all,
  And every winter change to spring.

  Alfred Lord Tennyson

  Hope, Spring, Fall

  'In Memoriam A. H. H.' (1850) canto 54

• Cleave ever to the sunnier side of doubt, And cling to faith beyond the forms of faith; She reels not at the storm of warring words; She brightens at the clash of "Yes" and "No"; She sees the best that glimmers through the worst; She feels the sun is hid for the night; She spies the summer through the winter bud; She tastes the fruit before the blossom falls; She hears the lark within the songless egg; She finds the fountain where they wailed "Mirage!"

  Alfred Lord Tennyson

  Summer, Fall, Winter
