Said I: "See yon vast heaven shine,-- <br /> What earthly sight diviner? <br />Before such radiant Design <br /> Why doubt Designer?" <br /> <br />Said he: "Design is just a thought <br /> In human cerebration, <br />And meaningless if Man is not <br /> Part of creation. <br /> <br />"But grant Design,--we may imply <br /> The job took toil aplenty; <br />Then why one sole designer, why <br /> Not ten or twenty. <br /> <br />"But should there be one Source supreme <br /> Of matter and of motion, <br />Why mould it like our man-machine <br /> For daft devotion?" <br /> <br />Said I: "You may be right or wrong, <br /> I'll seek not to discover . . . <br />I listen to yon starry song,-- <br /> Still, still God's lover."<br /><br />Robert William Service<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fool-faith/
