Versos English William Henry Venable Faith

English poem

Faith

by (1836–1920)

Listen in the reader

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.”
