cedar quotes

Hark! ah, the Nightingale! The tawny-throated! Hark! from that moonlit cedar what a burst! What triumph! harkwhat pain!

- Matthew Arnold
  Poems:  A New Edition,'Philomela', l.1^4.

Through breaks of the cedar and sycamore bowers Struggles the light that is love to the flowers; And, softer than slumber and sweeter than singing, The notes of the bell-birds are running and ringing. The silver-voiced bell-birds, the darlings of daytime! They sing in September their songs of the May-time.

- Henry Clarence Kendall
  Leaves from  Australian Forests,'Bell-Birds'.
