5447 Thomas Moore 1779-1852 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:5447
AUTHOR:Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
QUOTATION:Oft in the stilly night,
  Ere slumber’s chain has bound me,
Fond memory brings the light
  Of other days around me;
    The smiles, the tears,
    Of boyhood’s years,
The words of love then spoken;
    The eyes that shone
    Now dimmed and gone,
The cheerful hearts now broken.
ATTRIBUTION:Oft in the Stilly Night.
