Of Prayer

Forgetting God all Day, Men deem it right
To ask Him to remember them at Night.

“I F Prayers of Dogs were heard,” the Arabs say,
“What Showers of Bones would fall from Heaven this Day!”

For Mercy on Ourselves we pray, my Brothers;
Then Justice, only, dare we ask for Others?

T HE Weakling merely Prays God;
The Stronger Soul Obeys God.

I N Work or Sport, at grips with GrieFor Sin,
Pray not for Victory, but Strength to Win.
