First Line: I sang of answered prayer,
Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs.
Subject(s): Prayer
I sang of answered prayer,
And now before the goddess,
The maids lay flowers rare,
And she has ceased to care
For bay that I might bear.
To heal my heart's distress,
My feet must wander where
There waits some lonelier goddess.
