Grocott & Ward, comps. Grocott’s Familiar Quotations, 6th ed. 189-?.

Charms

How often have I paused on every charm,
The shelter’d cot, the cultivated farm,
The never-failing brook, the busy mill,
The decent church that topp’d the neighbouring hill;
The hawthorn bush, with seats beneath the shade,
For talking age and whispering lovers made.
Goldsmith.—Deserted Village, Line 9.
