Explore "Evening Hymn of the Reverend Eli Jenkins" by Dylan Thomas on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Every morning when I wake, / Dear Lord, a little prayer I make, / O please to keep Thy lovely eye / On all poor creatures born to die.
And every evening at sun-down / I ask a blessing on the town, / For whether we last the night or no / I'm sure is always touch-and-go.
We are not wholly bad or good
Who live our lives under Milk Wood, / And Thou, I know, wilt be the first, / To see our best side, not our worst.
O let us see another day!
Bless us this holy night, I pray,
And to the sun we all will bow / And say goodbye-but just for now!
