Since all that is was ever bound to be; <br /> Since grim, eternal laws our Being bind; <br /> And both the riddle and the answer find, <br />And both the carnage and the calm decree; <br />Since plain within the Book of Destiny <br /> Is written all the journey of mankind <br /> Inexorably to the end; since blind <br />And mortal puppets playing parts are we: <br /> <br />Then let's have faith; good cometh out of ill; <br /> The power that shaped the strife shall end the strife; <br />Then let's bow down before the Unknown Will; <br /> Fight on, believing all is well with life; <br />Seeing within the worst of War's red rage <br />The gleam, the glory of the Golden Age.<br /><br />Robert William Service<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/faith-12/
