FAITH’S AVATAR

The Database of Ornament                    TO     .     .     .     .     .     .     .

     IF Faith were given human form, alive and warm,
     I think thy steady-burning eyes
     Where Love and Hope and Courage dwell,
     I think thy mouth so sweet and wise
     Would suit her well.
     For if not very Faith thou art.
     Yet, Faith, who dwelleth in they heart,
     Has wrought thy features to her will,
     And made them pure and calm and still.
