In the introduction to her first poetry volume, Charlotte Mason explained her rationale. “Verse,” she explained, “offers a comparatively new medium in which to present the great theme. It is more impersonal, more condensed, and is capable of more reverent handling than is prose; and what Wordsworth calls ‘the authentic comment’ may be essayed in verse with more becoming diffidence.”

People often wonder what Charlotte Mason thought about prayer. There is a way to find out, and it is a way that is condensed and reverent. It is compact and beautiful. It is inspiring. It is a poem about the Lord’s Prayer. Read or hear it here.
