The Little World

"None of the answers of my pious preceptors would satisfy me, and my demands that they cease taking things for granted quite upset them. Close reasoning was something new in their little world of Semitic mythology." - H. P. Lovecraft  

Read to me the lesson  
and I'll memorise the words,  
sing to me the standard songs  
and I'll recall the tune...  
 
The stories told  
time and time again  
create a world  
as wholly and as magically  
 
as when the eternal hands crafted  
sea, and sky, and soil.  
The Book is a door  
and the Word is a candle  
 
lighting the dark room beyond.  
When I am close to Thee,  
then I am close to a place  
where light charges the bones.  
 
So read to me the lesson  
and I'll memorise the words,  
sing to me the standard songs  
and I'll recall the tune...
