Show Winning entry Writing on the picture "In the Cathedral," by Verla Bir-rell, Bir-rell, Radene Brown's poem which received first place among student essays on paintings paint-ings in the exhibit this year, follows : A Sinner's Prayer Soaring monuments of peace! Deliver tranquility To my restless soul. Azure windows! Call to me. Ask only Reverance and respect. Oh! emerald arches! Give power In this wilted vessel of sin. Cleansing streams of light! Give the innermost recess of my heart Courage and fortitude To go into this World of Fools In the stillness of this House of prayer, I feel Some Supreme Being Close at hand. Being! Spare but one Moment To listen to this Sinner's Prayer. |
