Oliver Goldsmith Quotes

Sweet Was The Sound, When Oft, At Evening's Close,
Up Yonder Hill The Village Murmur Rose;
There As I Passed, With Careless Steps And Slow,
The Mingling Notes Came Soften'd From Below;
The Swain Responsive As The Milkmaid Sung,
The Sober Herd That Low'd To Meet Their Young;
The Noisy Geese That Gabbled O'er The Pool,
The Playful Children Just Let Loose From School;
The Watch-dog's Voice That Bay'd The Whispering Wind,
And The Loud Laugh That Spoke The Vacant Mind;
These All In Sweet Confusion Sought The Shade,
And Fill'd Each Pause The Nightingale Had Made.
