A Poem that Has No Title
To my Creator I sing
Who did soothe me in my great loss; To the
Merciful and Kind Who in my troubles gave me
repose.
Thou with that pow'r of thine
Said: Live! And with life myself I found;
And shelter gave me thou
And a soul impelled to the good
Like a compass whose point to the North is bound.
Thou did make me descend
From honorable home and respectable stock,
And a homeland thou gavest me
Without limit, fair and rich
Though fortune and prudence it does lack.
