PRAYER, by WILLIAM ARTHUR DUNKERLEY First Line: Tis not the length of time we stay Last Line: To the heart of him who bears us. Alternate Author Name(s): Oxenham, John Subject(s): Prayer; Religion; Theology | ||||||||
'Tis not the length of time we stay, Nor the multitudinous things we say, But the heartiness with which we pray, That counts with Him who hears us. Better one sigh and an upward glance, A kindling of inward penitence, Than years of loftiest pretence, To the heart of Him who bears us. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MYSTIC BOUNCE by TERRANCE HAYES MATHEMATICS CONSIDERED AS A VICE by ANTHONY HECHT UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE COMING OF THE PLAGUE by WELDON KEES A LITHUANIAN ELEGY by ROBERT KELLY A NEW EARTH by WILLIAM ARTHUR DUNKERLEY |
