TWO PRAYERS, by CHARLOTTE PERKINS STETSON GILMAN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Only for these I pray Last Line: Let me have power to do. Alternate Author Name(s): Stetson, Charlotte Perkins Subject(s): Prayer; Religion; Theology | ||||||||
Only for these I pray, Pray with assurance strong: Light to discover the way, Power to follow it long. Let me have light to see, Light to be sure and know; When the road is clear to me Willingly I go. Let me have power to do, Power of the brain and nerve, Though the task is heavy and new Willingly I will serve. My prayers are lesser than three, Nothing I pray but two Let me have light to see, Let me have power to do. | 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 CONSERVATIVE by CHARLOTTE PERKINS STETSON GILMAN |
