    I ask not a life for the dear ones,
    All radiant, as others have done,
    But that life may have just enough shadow
    To temper the glare of the sun;
    I would pray God to guard them from evil,
    But my prayer would bound back to myself:
    Ah! a seraph may pray for a sinner,
    But a sinner must pray for himself.

I pray the prayer the Easterners do,
May the peace of Allah abide with you;
Wherever you read more

I pray the prayer the Easterners do,
May the peace of Allah abide with you;
Wherever you stay, wherever you go,
May the beautiful palms of Allah grow;
Through days of labor, and nights of rest,
The love of Good Allah make you blest;
So I touch my heart--as the Easterners do,
May the peace of Allah abide with you.

Doubt not but God who sits on high,
Thy secret prayers can hear;
When a dead wall read more

Doubt not but God who sits on high,
Thy secret prayers can hear;
When a dead wall thus cunningly
Conveys soft whispers to the ear.
