James Montgomery

“Hope against hope, and ask till ye receive.”

“'Tis human actions paint the chart of time.”

“Eternity: a moment standing still for ever.”

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

“The Dove, on silver pinions, winged her peaceful way.”

“Blue thou art, intensely blue; Flower, whence came thy dazzling hue?”

“Fairest and best adorned is she Whose clothing is humility.”

“Here hyacinths of heavenly blue, shook their rich tresses to the morn.”
