THE PRAYER OF DAFT HARRY, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: Lord, since this world is filled with fire Last Line: While mary sings our praise! Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): God; Prayer | ||||||||
Lord, since this world is filled with fire Inside this rounded mould Let's turn it inside out, O Lord, While hands and feet are cold. Let's split the world in half, O Lord, As open as my palm, Until the snow has melted down, And hands and feet are warm. Let's turn the world all inside out, And glorify Our Name; Until Our fire makes Jesus laugh, While I blow up the flame. Let's do it now, this minute, Lord, And make a glorious blaze: Till Jesus laughs and claps his hands, While Mary sings Our praise! | 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 A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
