FAITH

Maybe. And still on bended knees I fall,
Filled with a faith no preacher ever taught.
O God—my God—by no false prophet wrought—
I believe still, in despite af it all!

Let go the myths and creeds of groping men.
This clay knows nought—the Potter understands.
  I own that Power divine beyond my ken,
And still can leave me in His shaping hands.
But, O my God, that madest me to feel,
  Forgive the anguish of the turning wheel!
