Prayer [We doubt the word that tells us: Ask]

________________________________________________
Title:     Prayer [We doubt the word that tells us: Ask]
Author: George MacDonald [More Titles by MacDonald]

We doubt the word that tells us: Ask,
And ye shall have your prayer;
We turn our thoughts as to a task,
With will constrained and rare.

And yet we have; these scanty prayers
Yield gold without alloy:
O God! but he that trusts and dares
Must have a boundless joy.

[The end]
George MacDonald's poem: Prayer
