The Deserted Village

"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Thy sports are fled, and all thy charms withdrawn;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)
