THE PRAYER
Wass SH HAVE cried aloud, but truly,
N er cd There are no Gods in the lowlands:
(5 RS 1 will go to the high hills
1 ey I To seek my God.
I yearn forhim . . . .
I am eager
As the hawk for the high sun!
For I have cried to Him loudly, and the silence
Was like the cloak of a black dream.
Let them come quickly,
And awake me
With singing, lest I dream no more.
