LOST by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS

First Line: WHEN CHRIST IS LOST, MAN'S PENTECOST
Last Line: AND DEATH'S ETERNITY.
Subject(s): DEATH; FAILURE; DEAD, THE;

When Christ is lost, man's Pentecost
Floats derelict at sea.
When Faith is lost, man, tempest-tossed,
Can shore nor harbor see.
When Hope is lost, then too is lost
Hope's Star of Destiny.
When Love is lost comes chilling frost
And Death's Eternity.
