"Oh blessed vision! After all the years Christ's with us yet, today as heretofore", and ending "(Oh Christ! White Comrade in their stand for right!) Lo I am with you always, Lord of Life", a variant of the text of 'The Comrade in White' by William Henry Leatham (1815-1889), English banker, poet and politician. Anna Aleksandrovna Vyrubova, née Taneeva (1884-1960) was a lady-in-waiting and close friend and confidant of the Empress, and was the main interlocutor between Alexandra and Grigorii Rasputin.
