Take all the pleasures of all the spheres,
And multiply each through endless years,—
One minute of heaven is worth them all.

Thomas Moore

Alas! how light a cause may move
Dissension between hearts that love!
Hearts that the world in vain had tried,
And sorrow but more closely tied;
That stood the storm when waves were rough,
Yet in a sunny hour fall off,
Like ships that have gone down at sea
When heaven was all tranquillity.

Thomas Moore

Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.

Thomas Moore

No eye to watch, and no tongue to wound us
All earth forgot, and all heaven around us.

Thomas Moore

Thus, when the lamp that lighted
The traveller at first goes out,
He feels awhile benighted,
And looks around in fear and doubt.
But soon, the prospect clearing,
By cloudless starlight on he treads,
And thinks no lamp so cheering
As that light which Heaven sheds.

Thomas Moore

This world is all a fleeting show,
For man's illusion given;
The smiles of joy, the tears of woe,
Deceitful shine, deceitful flow,—
There's nothing true but Heaven.

Thomas Moore

This wretched brain gave way, and I became a wreck at random driven, without one glimpse of reason or heaven.

Thomas Moore

A Persian's heaven is easily made:
'Tis but black eyes and lemonade.
