The Lecturer Prays

ANNIE LORENA HOUSE

Father, in this dear hour of selflessnessTake Thou my utterance wholly unto Thee,To speak as one who follows him who spakeAs never mortal spake; that not aloneShall he who comes in prayer, rewarded go,But even more that he who comes to bindShall cast away the chains, and witness bear;That those who sit in darkness may discernThe open door of Mind, where all who willMay freedom find if they but go that way.
