Faith’s Avatar
If Faith were given human form, alive and warm,1
I think thy steady-burning eyes2
Where Love and Hope and Courage dwell,3
I think thy mouth so sweet and wise4
Would suit her well.5
For if not very Faith thou art,6
Yet Faith, who dwelleth in thy heart,7
Has wrought thy features to her will,8
And made them pure and calm and still.9
