The Deserted Village

"" was a poem by Oliver Goldsmith. The Fifth Doctor quoted it at Stockbridge's destruction, saying,
:Sweet smiling village, loveliest of the lawn,
:Thy sports are fled, and all thy charms withdrawn;
:Amidst thy bowers the tyrant's hand is seen,
:And desolation saddens all thy green.
(AUDIO: Plague of the Daleks)
