FAITH, by                    
First Line: In thought's black caves the wanderer cries
Last Line: "grope with thy hands and thou shalt know!"
Subject(s): Faith; God; Light; Belief; Creed


In thought's black caves the wanderer cries:
"Bring forth a light to feed mine eyes,
That on the husks of darkness starve!
The light! the light! O God, the Wise!"

And then the Voice speaks, calm and low:
"My son, thine eyes would perish so;
The light is fierce and blinds the weak.
Grope with thy hands and thou shalt know!"
