Prayer is the soul's sincere desire
1
Prayer is the soul's sincere desire,Uttered or unexpressed;The motion of a hidden fireThat trembles in the breast.
2
Prayer is the burden of a sigh,The falling of a tear,The upward glancing of an eye,When none but God is near.

Prayer is the simplest form of speechThat infant lips can try;Prayer the sublimest strains that reachThe Majesty on high.
