“PRAYER.”

Francis William Lauderdale Adams

This is what I pray In this horrible day, In this terrible night, God will give me light.

Such as I have had, That I go not mad. This is what I seek, God will keep me meek

Till mine eyes behold, Till my lips have told All this hellish crime.— Then it's sleeping time!
