I have a poor memory but I looked it up. I'm guessing you mean Prayer (1). I wrote a dissertation in my last few months at school on Herbert and Hopkins because I saw something similar in the directness of their dialogues with God. I was more or less an atheist but I responded to this process which The Prayer kind of sums up.
Sorry to lower the tone but do you sell that beeswax polish?
I'll give you some next time I make it

That's the one. Brillaint perception for a kid. Some lines could be Hopkins:
The milky way, the bird of Paradise,
Church-bells beyond the stars heard, the soul's blood,
The land of spices; something understood.
Thanks. I always liked Herbert.
My favourite. Do you know "Prayer"?
