LOVE AND FAITH
FAITH spread her wings to seek the realms of day;Unfathomable depths before her lay.Hope drooped beside her, as there stretched afar,Space beyond space, outreaching endlessly,The faintest gleam of the remotest star.Her heart grew faint, her wings flagged heavily;Vain seemed the quest, and endless seemed the way.Then Love cried out, with voice that pierced the night:"Lo, I am here!" and straight all space was light;Darkness had vanished, and the weary wayWas all forgotten in the vision bright—For Faith had reached the glorious gates of day!

FAITH spread her wings to seek the realms of day;
Unfathomable depths before her lay.
Hope drooped beside her, as there stretched afar,
Space beyond space, outreaching endlessly,
The faintest gleam of the remotest star.
Her heart grew faint, her wings flagged heavily;
Vain seemed the quest, and endless seemed the way.
Then Love cried out, with voice that pierced the night:"Lo, I am here!" and straight all space was light;Darkness had vanished, and the weary wayWas all forgotten in the vision bright—For Faith had reached the glorious gates of day!
Then Love cried out, with voice that pierced the night:
"Lo, I am here!" and straight all space was light;
Darkness had vanished, and the weary way
Was all forgotten in the vision bright—
For Faith had reached the glorious gates of day!
