A ROOT OF DOUBT by ANNA BUNSTON DE BARY

First Line: YOU DOUBT IF THERE BE ANY GOD?
Last Line: AND YOU WILL KNOW.
Subject(s): DOUBT; SKEPTICISM;

YOU doubt if there be any God?
Doubt is the torpid man's complaint;
Still hibernating 'neath your clod,
Your sins and virtues grow too faint.
But come where life is all ablow:
Be a murderer or a saint,
And you will know.
