Poem by Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

Prayer

Prayer is the little implement
Through which men reach
Where presence is denied them.
They fling their speech

By means of it in God's ear;
If then He hear,
This sums the apparatus
Comprised in prayer.

1. Superiority to Fate
2. Hope (Hope is a subtle glutton)
3. The Forgotten Grave
4. Forbidden Fruit. I
5. I Think Just How My Shape Will Rise

Arthur Benson Prayer ("MY sorrow had pierced me through; it throbbed in my heart like a thorn")
