PRAYER, by                    
First Line: Lord, forgive
Last Line: Thy radiant spirit walks abroad with men.
Subject(s): Prayer


Lord, forgive—
That I have dwelt too long on Golgotha,
My wracked eyes fixed
On Thy poor, tortured human form upon the cross,
And have not seen
The lilies in Thy dawn-sweet garden bend
To anoint Thy risen feet; nor known the ways
Thy radiant spirit walks abroad with men.
