PRAYER FOR SHUT-INS, by RUTH WINANT WHEELER First Line: Because, dear lord, their way is rough and steep Last Line: Please give fresh courage, ease their load. Subject(s): Convalescence | ||||||||
Because, dear Lord, their way is rough and steep, And some are sore perplexed, and some do weep, We come to ask that Thou wilt show the way And give Thy rod and staff to be their stay. Especially, dear Lord, for these we ask, Who have not strength to meet their task; And for all weary on the road Please give fresh courage, ease their load. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AMONG THE NARCISSI by SYLVIA PLATH A LEG IN A PLASTER CAST by MURIEL RUKEYSER CONVALESCENT by MARGARET ELIZABETH MUNSON SANGSTER AMONG THE NARCISSI by SYLVIA PLATH ETUDE REALISTE by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE THE MOUNTAIN ECHO by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH THE SOLITARY REAPER by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH TO A FRIEND WHOSE WORK HAS COME TO NOTHING by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS |
