Arjava [J. A. Chadwick]

 A PRAYER  


       Give me not only gold,
 But the use unwasted
             Of each grain of splendour
       My dazzled eyes behold-
 Or be Thy nectar-cup untasted,
             O Heavenly Lender.


      Cleanse and furnish new
This heart receiving
            Till, like a child new-born,
      Its day's unshadowed hue
Can no more suffer cloud-rack's reiving,
            Sunless, forlorn.


      May my thought in some inmost shrine
Be ever deeming
            Thee as the Taintless Giver-
      In grateful tranced shine,
         A soul ensilvered with Thy Gleaming
            Like a moonlit river.
   16-3-1934
