The Lost Sapphire
George Thomas Coster (1835–1912)H
Her name shall ‘Sapphire’ be!
He held his babe on happy arm,
And crooned in peaceful glee
The name of Sapphire, o’er and o’er,
Like haunting melody.
Oh, the tempestuous day,
When swift from holy Peter’s feet
They bore the dead away!
Sapphira! And in many hearts
Were thoughts no words could say!
