Hannah’s Prayer
[In honor of Hannah Szenes’s “A Walk to Caesarea” (1942)]
As so many things around her are ending
As they have before
As they do
As they will in times to come
A young woman stands before the might of the sea
And listens for its echoes
In times when she knows she too
Will be gone
One thought on "Hannah’s Prayer"

Lovely! “A young woman stands before the might of the sea/And listens for its echoes” – great line.
