Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFE GHHG IJJI KLLK| You say but with no touch of scorn | A |
| Sweet hearted you whose light blue eyes | B |
| Are tender over drowning flies | B |
| You tell me doubt is Devil born | A |
| I know not one indeed I knew | C |
| In many a subtle question versed | D |
| Who touch'd a jarring lyre at first | D |
| But ever strove to make it true | C |
| Perplext in faith but pure in deeds | E |
| At last he beat his music out | F |
| There lives more faith in honest doubt | F |
| Believe me than in half the creeds | E |

| He fought his doubts and gather'd strength | G |
| He would not make his judgment blind | H |
| He faced the spectres of the mind | H |
| And laid them thus he came at length | G |
| - | |
| To find a stronger faith his own | I |
| And Power was with him in the night | J |
| Which makes the darkness and the light | J |
| And dwells not in the light alone | I |
| - | |
| But in the darkness and the cloud | K |
| As over Sina iuml 's peaks of old | L |
| While Israel made their gods of gold | L |
| Altho' the trumpet blew so loud | K |
