A poem by Vachel Lindsay

St. Francis Of Assisi

________________________________________________
Title:     St. Francis Of Assisi
Author: Vachel Lindsay [More Titles by Lindsay]

Would I might wake St. Francis in you all,
Brother of birds and trees, God's Troubadour,
Blinded with weeping for the sad and poor;
Our wealth undone, all strict Franciscan men,
Come, let us chant the canticle again
Of mother earth and the enduring sun.
God make each soul the lonely leper's slave;
God make us saints, and brave.






[The end]
Vachel Lindsay's poem: St. Francis Of Assisi
