by Unknown

The diamond is not lost; its fragments gather

Into a star before the Eternal Father.

The stream beside the stream of life is flowing,

And ever fed from their celestial springs;

The essence round the Throne eternal, going

Embodied on a Seraph’s radiant wings;

Oh, lost one!—let us call thee what we will,

The very name hath consolation still.

Anon.
