Irish Poets: Oliver Goldsmith

Goldsmith wrote Deserted Village, 
Now again reduced to tillage; 
Once happiest village of the plain, 
Place now you look for it in vain; 
There but one man he doth make rich, 
And hundreds struggle in the ditch; 

"Ill fare the land to many ills a prey
Where wealth accumelates but men decay." 
His honest Vicar of Wakefield
Forever he will pleasure yield.
