Excerpt from Fallen Leaves
A Prayer
(Written on my Twenty-first Birthday)
Dear Father, who with guidance firm
My childish footsteps stayed,
Who fed my youth's unfolding mind,
Now give my manhood aid.
Those years are past, and by man's law
In man's estate I stand;
Help me to use man's highest strength,
To lend the weak a hand.
Give unto others worldly fame,
Me an unselfish heart,
Strong to sustain, tender to love,
Give me the Christ-like part.
Help me to do the things I should,
Free from Temptation's ban;
Help me to be God's noblest work,
An honest Christian man.
Amen.
