Additional quotes by Thomas Campbell

Cease, every joy, to glimmer on my mind,
But leave, oh! leave the light of Hope behind!
What though my wingèd hours of bliss have been
Like angels visits, few and far between.

Who hath not owned, with rapture-smitten frame,
The power of grace, the magic of a name?

Few, few shall part where many meet!
The snow shall be their winding-sheet,
And every turf beneath their feet
Shall be a soldier's sepulchre.

And rustic life and poverty Grow beautiful beneath his touch. - Thomas Campbell
