A PRAYER FOR FRIENDS
A PRAYER FOR OUR FRIENDS O, Omnipotent Architect Of The Universe We bring our humble friends to thee; Be with them on the stormy deep, Be with them in the silent hour By land or sea , awake or asleep. Be their Helper, Strength and Tower. Maintain them, O God of Right, , Through their earthly strife; Each holding forth the Word of Life, Be their Light to brighten future days, Let then not falter nor fail, Though the rocky paths be uneven. Stand up, Brethren- speak with cheerful voice, We bid you fight for a blessed dawn; Where be no room for despair. And all hopes will be leaven; Go-- win the country of your choice Of Truth and Liberty and Heaven, Last edited by cousinsoren 09-01-2010 at 11:13:51 AM |
Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.
Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
