Gentle Lamb, O so mild, <br />Stay with me a little while; <br />Let the sorrows in my keep <br />Bury in Thy whitened fleece. <br /> <br />Gentle Lamb, O so mild, <br />Trusting, loving, not beguiled; <br />Crossing rapid waters start <br />The tender beatings of Thine heart. <br /> <br />Gentle Lamb, O so mild, <br />Thou dost judge the rank and file; <br />The pauper-poor and princely-rich, <br />Through eyes of righteous amethyst. <br /> <br />Gentle Lamb, O so mild, <br />Stay with me this little while; <br />Let the sorrows in my keep <br />Bury in Thy whitened fleece.<br /><br />Edward Steinhardt<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-child-s-prayer-3/
