MY PRAYER, by EMMELINE CUST First Line: O god, my god, where'er thou art Last Line: And, pitying, remember me. Alternate Author Name(s): Cust, Nina Subject(s): Prayer | ||||||||
O GOD, my God, where'er Thou art, Keep my belovèd in Thy Heart: Fold in Thy Heart that heart so bright, Heal him with Thy most gentle light. And since Thou mad'st forgetfulness, Forget whate'er Thou find'st amiss: And since Thou mad'st remembering, Remember every lovely thing. And then, my God, lean down and see ... And, pitying, remember me. | 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 THOUGH THOU ART DEAD by EMMELINE CUST |
