Explore "Agnes at Prayer" by Dinah Mulock on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
"OUR Father which art in heaven," / Little Agnes prays, / Though her kneeling is but show, / Though she is too young to know / All, or half she says. / God will hear her, Agnes mild, / God will love the innocent child.
"Our Father which art in heaven. " / She has a father here, / Does she think of his kind eyes, / Tones that ne'er in anger rise -- / "Yes, dear," or "No, dear. " / They will haunt her whole life long / Like a sweet pathetic song.
"Our Father which art in heaven," / Through thy peaceful prayer, / Think of the known father's face, / Of his bosom, happy place; / Safely sheltered there; / And so blessed -- long may He bless! / Think too of the fatherless.
