To St. Francis All Alone Before The Canticles Poem by Mary Angela Douglas
To St. Francis All Alone Before The Canticles
I sought the consolation of the world
and found it brick-bat hard
and God said: by whom shall I comfort thee
by the little stars I said by the brooks from
rivers fed by the birds in exorbitant song
by all of these
and on my knees I cried.
knowing my lot was to be the Comforter,
and not the comforted.
