Sara Teasdale - The Prayer
Work rating: Medium

My answered prayer came up to me, 
And in the silence thus spake he: 
"O you who prayed for me to come, 
Your greeting is but cold and dumb."

My heart made answer: "You are fair, 
But I have prayed too long to care. 
Why came you not when all was new, 
And I had died for joy of you."
