Thomas Moore
There's a bower of roses by Bendemeer's stream,
And the nightingale sings round it all the day long;
In the time of my childhood 'twas like a sweet dream,
To sit in the roses and hear the bird's song.
Moore quotes
And the best of all ways
To lengthen our days
Is to steal a few hours from the night, my dear!
