| - | |
| I prayed at first a little Girl | B |
| Because they told me to | C |
| But stopped when qualified to guess | D |
| How prayer would feel to me | E |
| - | |
| If I believed God looked around | F |
| Each time my Childish eye | G |
| Fixed full and steady on his own | H |
| In Childish honesty | E |
| - | |
| And told him what I'd like today | I |
| And parts of his far plan | J |
| That baffled me | E |
| The mingled side | K |
| Of his Divinity | E |
| - | |
| And often since in Danger | L |
| I count the force 'twould be | E |
| To have a God so strong as that | M |
| To hold my life for me | E |
| - | |
| Till I could take the Balance | N |
| That tips so frequent now | O |
| It takes me all the while to poise | P |
| And then it doesn't stay | I |
