PRAYER FOR A CITY CHILD, by DOROTHY P. ALBAUGH First Line: I am not rich enough, dear god Last Line: To claim his heritage. Subject(s): Country Life | |||
I am not rich enough, dear God, To give him things that should be free, A slope of purple violets, An apple tree. Blue eggs within a robin's nest, Young fern fronds curling tight, A brook that talks to smooth, white stones, Gold firefly light. May I create in him a thirst For beauty nothing can assuage Until he seeks the fields, some day, To claim his heritage. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE TARIFF by GEORGE HENRY BOKER A DRIVE IN THE COUNTRY by TED KOOSER THERE IS ALWAYS A LITTLE WIND by TED KOOSER COUNTRYSIDE by JOSEPHINE MILES COMMUNION by DOROTHY P.
