PRAYER, by HAROLD COOK First Line: Christ, / she is coming Last Line: Praying desolate. Subject(s): Prayer | |||
CHRIST, She is coming, Lead her gently into heaven. Lord Isfrael, Sing you the moon into a jewel for her, Make you the universe into her bed. God, Set you Lord Gabriel for a candle Shining at her head, And Lord Michael For a lamp before her feet. Mary, Smooth her gown, Sweetly, As you would a child's. Oh Christ, Hearkening to prayers, Hear me, Praying desolate. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN LISTEN, LORD: A PRAYER by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON A PRAYER FOR THE FUTURE by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) DIFFERENT WAYS TO PRAY by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE PRAYER DURING A TIME MY SON IS HAVING SEIZURES by SHARON OLDS WE WHO PRAYED AND WEPT by WENDELL BERRY PRAYERS AND SAYINGS OF THE MAD FARMER by WENDELL BERRY |
