Faith by Tennyson

Posted in

She sees the best that glimmers through the worst,
She sees the sun is hid but only for a night,
She spies the summer through the winter bud,
She tastes the fruit before the blossom falls,
She hears the lark within the songless egg,
She finds the fountain where they wailed ‘mirage’.
