The Prayer

Title:     The Prayer
Author: Sara Teasdale [More Titles by Teasdale]

My answered prayer came up to me,
And in the silence thus spake he:
"O you who prayed for me to come,
Your greeting is but cold and dumb."

My heart made answer: "You are fair,
But I have prayed too long to care.
Why came you not when all was new,
And I had died for joy of you."

[The end]
Sara Teasdale's poem: Prayer
