DEVOTIONS, by ELLINOR L. NORCROSS First Line: I almost never say my prayers Last Line: Within his hand and talk. Subject(s): Prayer | ||||||||
I almost never say my prayers, With smoothly folded eyes So many prayers go blundering Each day to paradise. I'd think that God would tire so Of prayers all neat and trim, When rows and rows of them each day March stiffly up to Him. I wait until some cool, fresh dawn When He goes down our walk, And then I run and slip my hand Within His hand and talk. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN LISTEN, LORD: A PRAYER by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON A PRAYER FOR THE FUTURE by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) DIFFERENT WAYS TO PRAY by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE PRAYER DURING A TIME MY SON IS HAVING SEIZURES by SHARON OLDS WE WHO PRAYED AND WEPT by WENDELL BERRY PRAYERS AND SAYINGS OF THE MAD FARMER by WENDELL BERRY ATALANTA by ELLINOR L.
