The Reverend Eli Jenkins Prayer by Dylan Thomas.

Every morning when I wake,
Dear Lord, a little prayer I make,
O please to keep thy lovely eye
On all poor creatures born to die.

And every evening at sundown
I ask a blessing on the town,
For whether we last the night or no
I'm sure is aways touch-and-go.

We are not wholly bad or good
who live our lives under Milk Wood,
And thou, I know, will be the first
To see our best side, not our worse.

O let us see another day!
Bless us all this night, I pray,
And to the sun we all will bow
And say, good-bye - but just for now.
