The joys of other years.

Additional quotes by James Montgomery

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

Bliss in possession will not last;
Remembered joys are never past;
At once the fountain, stream, and sea,
They were, they are, they yet shall be.

Friend after friend departs; Who hath not lost a friend?
There is no union here of hearts
That finds not here an end.

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