quotations about beds
The happiest part of a man's life is what he passes lying awake in bed in the morning.

The cool kindliness of sheets, that soon
Smooth away trouble; and the rough male kiss
Of blankets.
RUPERT BROOKE
The Great Lover
Daddy built it out of pine two days before the wedding
They say the neighbors cheered and hollered till his face got red
And mama brought the feather pillows and some handmade bedding
And they spent their wedding night in that big four poster bed
That night they swore like that bed their love would last forever
And they'd ask no more of life than the simple things they had
So they planed there future as they laid close together
And later I was born there in that big four poster bed
BRENDA LEE
"Big Four Poster Bed"
Take thou of me, sweet pillows, sweetest bed;
A chamber deaf to noise, and blind to light,
A rosy garland and a weary head.

"S-s-s-single Bed"
The day is done
The sun is down
The curtains have been drawn
And darkness has descended over everything in town
The covers have been turned and I've got my pajamas on
I've had my fun
I've stretched and yawned and all is said and done
I'm going to bed
THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS
