Faith.

Securely cabined in the ship beldw Through darkness and through storm I cross the sea, A. pathless wilderness of waves to me; But yet I do not fear, because I know That he who guides the good ship o’er that waste Sees in the stars her shining pathway traced. Blindfold I walk this life’s bewildering maze, “ Up flinty steep, through frozen mountainpass. Through thornset barren and throughdeep morass, But strong in faith I tread the uneven ways, And bare my head unshrinking to the blast, Because my Father’s arm is round cast; And if the way seems rough, I only clasp The hand that leads me with a firmer grasp. —Anne C. Lynch.
