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

More quotes by Thomas Hood

A man that's fond precociously of stirring,
Must be a spoon.

Morning Meditations (1839)

But evil is wrought by want of thought,
As well as want of heart.

There's a double beauty whenever a swan
Swims on a lake with her double thereon.

Another tumble! That's his precious nose!

Oh would I were dead now,
Or up in my bed now,
To cover my head now,
And have a good cry!
