Additional quotes by James Montgomery

Nature's prime favourites were the Pelicans;
High-fed, long-lived, and sociable and free.

Prayer is the burden of a sigh,
The falling of a tear,
The upward glancing of an eye
When none but God is near.

Distinct as the billows, yet one as the sea.

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