5403 Thomas Moore 1779-1852 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:5403
AUTHOR:Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
QUOTATION:I knew, by the smoke that so gracefully curl’d
  Above the green elms, that a cottage was near;
And I said, “If there ’s peace to be found in the world,
  A heart that was humble might hope for it here.”
