Additional quotes by Thomas Hood

Peace and rest at length have come All the day's long toil is past,
And each heart is whispering, "Home, Home at last."

His death which happened in his berth,
At forty-odd befell:
They went and told the sexton, and
The sexton tolled the bell.

Oh bed! oh bed! delicious bed!
That heaven upon earth to the weary head.

Boughs are daily rifled By the gusty thieves, And the book of Nature Getteth short of leaves. - Thomas Hood
