Faith - Too true it is, my time of power was spent...
#1
Faith

Too true it is, my time of power was spent
In idly watering weeds of casual growth, -
That wasted energy to desperate sloth
Declined, and fond self-seeking discontent, -

That the huge debt for all that Nature lent
I sought to cancel, - and was nothing loth
To deem myself an outlaw, severed both
From duty and from hope, - yea, blindly sent

Without an errand, where I would to stray: -
Too true it is that knowing now my state,
I weakly mourn the sin I ought to hate,

Nor love the law I yet would fain obey:
But true it is, above all law and fate
Is Faith, abiding the appointed day.
