The Prayer of the Cricket John Hall Wheelock (1886-1978)
In the darkness I make my music for myself alone,
I sing for the joy of singing.
Father, of whose seed I am,
The fire in my heart is from you.
When you return in glory, at daybreak,
Grant me—by then perhaps grown tired of song—
Peace, benediction of your light.
