That Faith alone, lording it high,
Which Hope despairs of, and with cry
Of anguish Love can never love,
Is not the Faith sent from Above:
The Faith that thus would be alone,
What is't to us--desolate, lone?
Faith then, that loved will not love
Nor hope--may no such Faith me move!
But ever in my bosom lie
Faith, Hope, and Love in trinity:
Yea, Love himself shall Faith's best lover prove,
And Faith confirm his strongest faith in Love. G.
