The joys of other years.

Additional quotes by James Montgomery

Gashed with honourable scars,
Low in Glory's lap they lie;
Though they fell, they fell like stars,
Streaming splendour through the sky.

Hope against hope, and ask till ye receive.

Once, in the flight of ages past,
There lived a man.

Night is the time to weep, To wet with unseen tears Those graves of memory where sleep The joys of other years. - James Montgomery
