FAITH
Drop by drop that never ceasing falls,
Water wears its way through granite walls;
Thought by thought that, conscious of its power,
Goes forth from the heart each day, each hour,—
Love shall conquer every hate-born breath,
Life Eternal triumph over death.
Step by step that ever tends to rise,
Man shall scale the heights of Paradise;
Prayer by prayer that knows all might is given,
Man shall win through fleshly bars—to Heaven.
