Additional quotes by Thomas Moore

Farewell, farewell to thee, Araby's daughter!
Thus warbled a Peri beneath the dark sea.

No, the heart that has truly lov'd never forgets,
But as truly loves on to the close;
As the sunflower turns on her god when he sets
The same look which she turn'd when he rose.

Oh! breathe not his name, let it sleep in the shade,
Where cold and unhonour'd his relics are laid.

But Faith, fanatic Faith, once wedded fast To some dear falsehood, hugs it to the last. - Thomas Moore
