A POET'S PRAYER

O' light on me...
That I don't lose the way ---
Enliven me with bravery!
As tenant...grave shrouds,
to make not perfect the day:

Thus with reformation!
Be the intellect of an essential character;
A calm thinker seized of inspiration,
with my decisive movement! even better:

O' not faultless! light on me
As identify the land in forego of natural harmony!
For in use...are codes of morality;
With strategies! hypocrites are everywhere---
What a pity:

Life! O' Sage! that your great will pervades it,
In truth! be the unnoticed and unknown, if not
our gain, your great profit
