Answer:

Mournful prayer for God’s divine guidance.

Step-by-step explanation:

John Berryman's "Homage to Mistress Bradstreet" is a long poem of 57 stanzas that shows the conflict of Mrs. Bradstreet's personal and artistic life. The poem acts as an examination of the creative imagination, the temptation to commit adultery and also religious apostasy in Bradstreet in particular.

The 32nd stanza of the poem presents Bradstreet as a tempted poet who is sorely domesticated who wants to be artistically active but couldn't. Though a sort of tribute to the colonial poet Anne Bradstreet, the poem also acts as much of the author's own personality revelation. The phrase "sing a concord of our thoughts" can be best described as a mournful prayer for the divine guidance of God in his life.
