MONTGOMERY AT QUEBEC, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Sword in hand he was slain
Last Line: And the river rolling past.
Alternate Author Name(s): Miller, Joaquin
Subject(s): Montgomery, Richard (1738-1775); Quebec, Battle Of (1775)


Sword in hand he was slain;
The snow his winding sheet;
The grinding ice at his feet --
The river moaning in pain.

Pity and peace at last;
Flowers for him today
Above on the battlements gray --
And the river rolling past.
