Explore "Prayer" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I do not undertake to say / That literal answers come from Heaven, / But I know this-that when I pray / A comfort, a support is given / That helps me rise o'er earthly things / As larks soar up on airy wings.
In vain the wise philosopher / Points out to me my fabric's flaws, / In vain the scientists aver / That "all things are controlled by laws. " / My life has taught me day by day / That it availeth much to pray.
