ROBERT MONTGOMERY
English poet and divine
(1807 - 1855)

A moment is a mighty thing
  Beyond the soul's imagination;
    For in it, though we trace it not,
      How much there crowds of varied lot
        How much of life, life cannot see,
          Darts onward to eternity!
      - [Moments]

Earth, air, and ocean, glorious three.
      - [Earth]

There's nothing terrible in death;
  'Tis but to cast our robes away,
    And sleep at night, without a breath
      To break repose till dawn of day.
      - In Memory of E.G. [Death]

And not from Nature up to Nature's God,
  But down from Nature's God look Nature through.
      - Luther--A Landscape of Domestic Life
        [Nature]

The soul, aspiring, pants its source to mount,
  As streams meander level with their fount.
      - Omnipresence of the Deity (pt. I) [Soul]

And Thou, vast Ocean! on whole awful face
  Time's iron feet can print no ruin trace.
      - The Omnipresence of the Deity
         (pt. I, st. 20) [Ocean]
