prayer - louis untermeyer lyrics

Loading...

god, though this life is but a wraith
although we know not what we use
although we grope with little faith
give me the heart to fight — and lose

ever insurgent let me be
make me more daring than devout;
from sleek contentment keep me free
and fill me with a buoyant doubt

open my eyes to visions girt
with beauty, and with wonder lit —
but always let me see the dirt
and all that sp*wn and die in it

open my ears to music; let
me thrill with spring’s first flutes and drums —
but never let mе dare forget
the bittеr ballads of the slums

from compromise and things half done
keep me with stern and stubborn pride;
and when at last the fight is won
god, keep me still unsatisfied

- louis untermeyer lyrics
