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

James Montgomery

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

James Montgomery

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.
