Lord, hear my morning's prayer! Increase, O Lord, my power, That as I feed Your birds From such a slender store, Turn all these crumbs to pounds, To feed a thousand men – As easy as I feed A sparrow, tit, or wren. But God, being jealous still, Can only smile and say – 'Serve me as you do now; Feed My small birds and pray. One dog to share one bone, One woman to one hearth; One man to share one house – @3One Christ to share My Earth!'@1 | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONG, WRITTEN AT SEA, IN THE FIRST DUTCH WAR, 1665 ... by CHARLES SACKVILLE (1637-1706) THE SHEPHEARDES CALENDER: MARCH by EDMUND SPENSER EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 29.
