A PRAYER (2), by                 Poet's Biography
First Line: When I am dying, let me know
Last Line: Loving life for its own sake.
Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs.
Subject(s): Life


When I am dying, let me know
That I loved the blowing snow
Although it stung like whips;
That I loved all lovely things
And I tried to take their stings
With gay unembittered lips;
That I loved with all my strength,
To my soul's full depth and length,
Careless if my heart must break,
That I sang as children sing
Fitting tunes to everything,
Loving life for its own sake.
