Explore "The House of Doubt" by Francis Sherman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Why should we fear? The sun will surely rise, / If we but wait, to light us on our way.
Think you none hearkeneth to us who pray, / That no God's heart is softened by our cries?
Did we not learn that He was kind and wise / And loved our souls? And shall your bodies say / "There is no light. The tales they told us, -- they / Were only dreams, dreamed in the House of Lies."
Nay, listen not to what your body saith, / But by the memory of those antique years / When it was evil and of little faith / And led the soul along a way of tears, / Let your soul chant -- as one that hath no fears -- / "We know that Thou art stronger, God, than death. "
