Prayers and Prayers: I
and two men came
greeting
crossing their paths
whispering to
the maker of mankind -
o, to the altar
came the men
one was the colonel
the other an half-cast
of an enriching poverty
"o lord!" whisper'd one
"how i wish my haven
could last richly
on an earthly eternity
for that dog my boots
to lick, o thank you, lord!"
and the bells did ring
everywhere
the world lay in tears
as heaven was a-ready
with some packs.
(to be contd.)
