English Poetry. Vachel Lindsay. Look You, I’ll Go Pray. Вэчел Линдсей.

Vachel Lindsay (Вэчел Линдсей)

* * *

Look you, I’ll go pray, 
My shame is crying, 
My soul is gray and faint, 
My faith is dying. 
Look you, I’ll go pray — 
”Sweet Mary, make me clean, 
Thou rainstorm of the soul, 
Thou wine from worlds unseen.”
