The Sun Says His Prayers

Vachel Lindsay

 Next Poem          

"The sun says his prayers," said the fairy,
Or else he would wither and die.
"The sun says his prayers," said the fairy,
"For strength to climb up through the sky.
He leans on invisible angels,
And Faith is his prop and his rod.
The sky is his crystal cathedral.
And dawn is his altar to God."

    WOW, I REMEMBER READING THIS POEM WHEN I WAS YOUNGER! I LOVE THE LINE "THE SKY IS HIS CRYSTAL CATHEDRAL." IT REALLY PAINTS A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE IN MY MIND!
