A PRAYER, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: Lord, hear my morning's prayer! Last Line: One christ to share my earth!' Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): God; Prayer; Religion; Theology | |||
Lord, hear my morning's prayer! Increase, O Lord, my power, That as I feed Your birds From such a slender store, Turn all these crumbs to pounds, To feed a thousand men As easy as I feed A sparrow, tit, or wren. But God, being jealous still, Can only smile and say 'Serve me as you do now; Feed My small birds and pray. One dog to share one bone, One woman to one hearth; One man to share one house One Christ to share My Earth!' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MYSTIC BOUNCE by TERRANCE HAYES MATHEMATICS CONSIDERED AS A VICE by ANTHONY HECHT UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE COMING OF THE PLAGUE by WELDON KEES A LITHUANIAN ELEGY by ROBERT KELLY A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
