abdu’l-baha is thought to have said, “make me a hollow reed from which the pith of self
hath been blown so that i may become a clear channel through which thy love may flow to others”.
the rest of the “prayer” is a poem written by george thompson and published in the star of the west. –kent]
make me as a hollow reed, that i may play and plant thy seed.
rascal’s closet may be lit, and have a needy rhyme in it.
make me as a flute of stone that when i play thy wind is blown.
rascal’s hideaway might chill, and die away from sill to sill.
hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed.
make me as a hollow reed that i may sing your grace, my steed.
rascal’s secret will be seen in it’s decay and sickening green.
make me as a proof in turn, i will prove to them that yearn.
rascal’s lie is manifest and never could survive your test.
hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed.
make me as a hollow reed so i may give them what they need.
rascal’s reign will come to end and monarch’s eyes will shine again.
make me strong for i am weak, give me words and i will speak
. rascal’s cheeks will burn in shame when all of us know your name.
hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed.
hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed.
