    But maybe prayer is a road to rise,
    A mountain path leading toward the skies
    To assist the spirit who truly tries.
    But it isn't a shibboleth, creed, nor code,
    It isn't a pack-horse to carry your load,
    It isn't a wagon, it's only a road.
    And perhaps the reward of the spirit who tries
    Is not the goal, but the exercise!

I ask not a life for the dear ones,
All radiant, as others have done,
But that life may have just enough shadow
To temper the glare of the sun;
I would pray God to guard them from evil,
But my prayer would bound back to myself:
Ah! a seraph may pray for a sinner,
But a sinner must pray for himself.

And from the prayer of Want, and plaint of Woe,
O never, never turn away their ear!
Forlorn, in this bleak wilderness below,
Ah! what were man, should Heaven refuse to hear!
