Absent from Him I roam,
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day's march nearer home.

Additional quotes by James Montgomery

Beyond this vale of tears
There is a life above,
Unmeasured by the flight of years;
And all that life is love.

'T is not the whole of life to live,
Nor all of death to die.

Who that hath ever been
Could bear to be no more?
Yet who would tread again the scene
He trod through life before?
