Additional quotes by James Montgomery

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

Nor sink those stars in empty night:
They hide themselves in heaven's own light.

Joys too exquisite to last,
And yet more exquisite when past.
