No words of laboured prayer I know,—
I cannot seek my Father so;
It gushes up in sudden hours,
As sing the birds, as bloom the flowers.
And is it prayer? or is it praise?
I only know, in loving ways,
When joy and sorrow touch the springs,
To thee my spirit only sings.
Away from forms I needs must turn;
No prayer have I that I must learn:
I ask but help to love thee more,
And thy dear will in peace adore.
