THE ARMENIAN POET'S PRAYER
BY ALEXANDER DZADOURIAN
(Born 1870)
O GOD, ’tis not for laurel wreaths I pray,For pompous funeral or jubilee;
Nor yet for fame beyond my life's decay--
All these my country will accord to me.
One favour, Lord of Heaven, I implore--
One that my land to me will never give:
Grant me a crust of bread, or else such store
Of grace that I on air may learn to live!
