I am a bubble <br />Upon thy ever-moving, resting sea: <br />Oh, rest me now from tossing, trespass, trouble! <br />Take me down into thee. <br /> <br />Give me thy peace. <br />My heart is aching with unquietness: <br />Oh, make its inharmonious beating cease! <br />Thy hand upon it press. <br /> <br />My Night! my Day! <br />Swift night and day betwixt, my world doth reel: <br />Potter, take not thy hand from off the clay <br />That whirls upon thy wheel. <br /> <br />O Heart, I cry <br />For love and life, pardon and hope and strength! <br />O Father, I am thine; I shall not die, <br />But I shall sleep at length!<br /><br />George MacDonald<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-evening-prayer/
