What are sheds?

Famous quotes containing the word sheds:

    Morning smack of the spade that wakes up sleep,
    Shakes a desolate boy who slits his throat
    In the dark of the coffin and sheds dry leaves,

    That you are fair or wise is vain,
    Or strong, or rich, or generous;
    You must have also the untaught strain
    That sheds beauty on the rose.

    Sir, he throws away his money without thought and without merit. I do not call a tree generous that sheds its fruit at every breeze.
