Poems by Felicia Dorothea Browne — A Prayer

Oh! God, my father and my friend,

Ever thy blessings to me send;

Let me have virtue for my guide,

And wisdom always at my side;

Thus cheerfully thro' life I'll go,

Nor ever feel the sting of woe;

Contented with the humblest lot,

Happy, tho' in the meanest cot.

F. D. B. aged 9.
