THE PRAYER by JOHN GALSWORTHY

First Line: IF ON A SPRING NIGHT I WENT BY
Last Line: TO ASK THEE ANYTHING!
Subject(s): PRAYER;

IF on a Spring night I went by
And God were standing there,
What is the prayer that I would cry
To Him? This is the prayer:

O Lord of Courage grave,
O Master of this night of Spring!
Make firm in me a heart too brave
To ask Thee anything!
