Perplext in faith, but pure in deeds,<br />At last he beat his music out.<br />There lives more faith in honest doubt,<br />Believe me, than in half the creeds.<br /><br /><br />He fought his doubts and gather'd strength,<br />He would not make his judgment blind,<br />He faced the spectres of the mind<br />And laid them: thus he came at length<br /><br /><br />To find a stronger faith his own;<br />And Power was with him in the night,<br />Which makes the darkness and the light,<br />And dwells not in the light alone,
