ORA PRO ME, by RACHEL ANNAND TAYLOR Poet's Biography First Line: O pray for me! Lo, here thy lover lies! Last Line: For me. Subject(s): Prayer | ||||||||
O PRAY for me! Lo, here thy lover lies! O pray for me! Remember me, O strange ecstatic eyes, And pray for me! Beneath thy nimb of sacerdotal gold, Lifted aspirant face, O pray for me! Ye long white pointed hands I yearned to hold Against my breaking heart, implore for me, For me. Then as I lie swathed in my waiting dream (Unransomed yet!) The colour and music of the Past shall seem (O all regret!) The great rose-window in a kirk of rest, Where in a circumflagrant fantasy Of rose and gold and green, thou flowerest, To pray for all sick souls, to pray for me For 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 A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN TO HER LOVER by RACHEL ANNAND TAYLOR |
