Faith is a fine invention
For gentlemen who see;
But Microscopes are prudent
In an emergency.

"Faith" is a fine invention
When Gentlemen can see –
But Microscopes are prudent
In an Emergency.

Faith — is the Pierless Bridge
Supporting what We see
Unto the Scene that We do not.

Faith — is the Pierless Bridge (1864)
