A CARELESS HEART, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: A little breath can make a prayer
Last Line: Then why keep ever near it?
Subject(s): Prayer


A little breath can make a prayer,
A little wind can take it
And turn it back again to air:
Then say, why should you make it?

An ardent thought can make a word,
A little ear can hear it,
A careless heart forget it heard:
Then why keep ever near it?
