A PRAYER, by                    
First Line: If I popped in at downing street
Last Line: To write a pome for thee!'
Alternate Author Name(s): Beerbohm, Max
Subject(s): Galsworthy, John (1867-1933); Marsh, Edward (1872-1953)


If I popped in at Downing Street
And Eddie were at home,
What is the pome wherewith I'd greet
Him? I will write the pome:

'O, Eddie, dear old boy,
O, C.M.G., C.B.,
Make firm in me a heart too coy
To write a pome for thee!'
