FAITH (3), by                    
First Line: I may not put my finger forth
Last Line: A sepulchre?
Subject(s): Faith; Belief; Creed


I may not put my finger forth
And touch the wounds of One who died,
Nor thrust a skeptic hand into
His pierced side.

And yet I know Christ lives, although
I have not found the tomb's blank space,
Nor heard the music of His voice,
Nor seen His face.

For if earth has no power to hold
The smallest seed hid deep in her,
How could they shut all April in
A sepulchre?
