By Thomas Hood (1799-1845)
These are the sources and poems that I use on the updates... with the actual quote in bold.

This one made me think of Angel...
I Remember, I Remember
~ Thomas Hood
I Remember, I Remember,
The house where I was born,
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn;
He never came a wink too soon,
Nor brought too long a day,
But now, I often wish the night
Had borne my breath away.
I Remember, I Remember,
The roses, red and white;
The violets, and the lily-cups,
Those flowers made of light!
The lilacs where the robin built,
And where my brother set
The laburnum on his birthday -
The tree is living yet!
I Remember, I Remember,
Where I was used to swing;
And thought the air must rush as fresh
To swallows on the wing.
My spirit flew in feathers then,
That is so heavy now,
And summer pools could hardly cool
The fever on my brow!
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 'tis little joy,
To know I'm farther off from Heav'n
Than when I was a boy.
