Explore "The Faith We Need" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
TOO tall our structures, and too swift our pace; / Not so we mount, not so we gain the race. / Too loud the voice of commerce in the land; / Not so truth speaks, not so we understand. / Too vast our conquests, and too large our gains; / Not so comes peace, not so the soul attains.
But the need of the world is a faith that will live anywhere; / In the still dark depths of the woods, or out in the sun's full glare. / A faith that can hear God's voice, alike in the quiet glen, / Or in the roar of the street, and over the noises of men.
