Faith has no quarrel with science: she foreknows The truths which science grudgingly bestows. Believing David sang that God is one Ere science found one law in earth and sun. Faith knows no hindering bonds, she leaps to seize The truth which science doubts; the harmonies That men of science learned from age-long thought Were first revealed to hearts untrained, untaught, But reverent. Let faith from science learn Enduring patience; nor let science spurn The gift of faith, a never-failing love; Thus, each supporting each, the two shall prove The final truth of life, that God the Soul Through perfect law seeks perfect Beauty's goal. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ODE FOR THE AMERICAN DEAD IN ASIA by THOMAS MCGRATH ARMY CORRESPONDENT'S LAST RIDE; FIVE FORKS, APRIL 1, 1865 by GEORGE ALFRED TOWNSEND ON THE DEATH OF THE REV.
