Pauline Johnson

Quotes

• “August is laughing across the sky,Laughing, while paddle, canoe and IDrift, drift,Where the hills upliftOn either side of the current swift.”
• “The pine trees whispering, the heron's cry,The plover's passing wing, his lullaby.”
• “Sleep, with her tender balm, her touch so kind, Has passed me by;Afar I see her vesture, velvet-lined, Float silently;O! Sleep, my tired eyes had need of thee!Is thy sweet kiss not meant to-night for me?”
