A PRAYER.

By J. G. Whittier

As Thou hast made Thy world without, Make Thou more fair my world within; Shine through its lingering clouds of doubt, Rebuke its haunting shapes of sin; Fill, brief or long, my granted span Of life with love to Thee and man; Strike when Thou wilt the hour of rest; But let my last days be my best.

—J. G. Whittier.
