Poet Analysis

First Line: O GOD, MY FATHER AND MY FRIEND
Last Line: HAPPY, THOUGH IN THE MEANEST COT.
Subject(s): PRAYER; SPRING;
O, GOD, my father and my friend,
Ever thy blessings to me send;
Let me have virtue for my guide,
And wisdom always at my side;
Thus cheerfully through life I'll go,
Nor ever feel the sting of woe;
Contented with the humblest lot,
Happy, though in the meanest cot.
