A CHILD'S PRAYER, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: For morn, my dome of blue
Last Line: And guard my innocence for evermore.
Subject(s): Prayer; Soldiers' Writings


FOR Morn, my dome of blue,
For Meadows, green and gay,
And Birds who love the twilight of the leaves,
Let Jesus keep me joyful when I pray.

For the big Bees that hum
And hide in bells of flowers;
For the winding roads that come
To Evening's holy door,
May Jesus bring me grateful to his arms,
And guard my innocence for evermore.
