Faith - How Guarded - ZaunköniG - 03.04.2008 Faith - How Guarded Yes, thou dost well, to arm thy tender mind With all that learning, and stern common sense Living hath spoke, or dying left behind; To blank the forwardness of pert pretence With long experience of a mighty mind, That. daring to explore the truth immense, Subsided in a faithful reverence Of the best Catholic hope of human kind. Yes, thou dost well to build a fence about Thine inward faith, and mount a stalwart guard Of answers, to oppose invading doubt. All aids are needful, for the strife is hard; But still be sure the truth within to cherish, - Truths long besieged too oft of hunger perish. |
