WITH WHOM IS NO VARIABLENESS, NEITHER SHADOW OF TURNING' by ARTHUR HUGH CLOUGH

Poet Analysis

First Line: IT FORTIFIES MY SOUL TO KNOW
Last Line: THAT, IF I SLIP, THOU DOST NOT FALL.
Subject(s): RELIGION; THEOLOGY;

It fortifies my soul to know
That, though I perish, Truth is so:
That, howsoe'er I stray and range,
Whate'er I do, Thou dost not change.
I steadier step when I recall
That, if I slip, Thou dost not fall.
