6066 Thomas Hood 1799-1845 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:6066
AUTHOR:Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
QUOTATION:I remember, I remember
The fir-trees dark and high;
I used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky;
It was a childish ignorance,
But now ’t is little joy
To know I ’m farther off from heaven
Than when I was a boy.
ATTRIBUTION:I remember, I remember.
