Oliver Goldsmith
Amid thy desert-walks the lapwing flies, And tires their echoes with unvaried cries.

Oliver Goldsmith
Thus let me hold thee to my heart, And every care resign: And we shall never, never part, My life-my all that's mine!
Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
Our bounty, like a drop of water, disappears, when diffus'd too widely
Oliver Goldsmith
So the loud torrent, and the whirlwind's roar, But bind him to his native mountains more.
Oliver Goldsmith
Life at the greatest and best is but a froward child, that must be humored and coaxed a little till it falls asleep, and then all the care is over.
Oliver Goldsmith
