English poem
Faith
by William Henry Venable (1836–1920)
The spreading circle of the known That Science strives to bound with laws Is but a glowing sparkle thrown From God, the radiant central cause.
His mystery is vaster far Than knowledge is or e’er can be; The wheel of Evolution’s car Rolls onward through eternity.
A stilly voice forever sounds The lapses of our doubt between: “Seek not to give Religion bounds, Nor limit Faith by forces seen.”
