TIS I: BE NOT AFRAID', by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: How shall I know thee, master, when the night
Last Line: I shall not be afraid
Subject(s): God


How shall I know Thee, Master, when the night
Falls black about the way.
When earth is void, and heaven haa no light.
And wild winds hunt their prey?

How shall I know 'tis Thee, or fiends of hell
In forms that image Thee?
They throng with mockeries, and can I tell
When Thou art come to me?

Yes, by the proof of peace! Oh, Saviour dear,
However sore dismayed,
When once Thy least low whispering I hear,
I shall not be afraid!
