There is no unbelief; Whoever plants a seed beneath the sod And waits to see it push away the clod— He trusts in God. There is no unbelief; Whoever says beneath the sky, "Be patient, heart; light breaketh by and by," Trusts the Most High. There is no unbelief; Whoever sees 'neath winter's field of snow, The silent harvest of the future grow— God's power must know. There is no unbelief; Whoever lies down on his couch to sleep, Content to lock each sense in slumber deep, Knows God will keep. There is no unbelief; Whoever says "tomorrow," "the unknown," "The future," trusts that power alone He dares disown. There is no unbelief; The heart that looks on when the eyelids close, And dares to live when life has only woes, God's comfort knows. There is no unbelief; For this by day and night unconsciously The heart lives by the faith the lips deny. God knoweth why. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MATE (2) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE BLACK RUNNER by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON TO GALLANT FRANCE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON BURY ME IN A FREE LAND by FRANCES ELLEN WATKINS HARPER THE DARK MAN by NORA (CHESSON) HOPPER THE HOUSE OF LIFE: 69.
