497 <br /> <br />He strained my faith— <br />Did he find it supple? <br />Shook my strong trust— <br />Did it then—yield? <br /> <br />Hurled my belief— <br />But—did he shatter—it? <br />Racked—with suspense— <br />Not a nerve failed! <br /> <br />Wrung me—with Anguish— <br />But I never doubted him— <br />'Tho' for what wrong <br />He did never say— <br /> <br />Stabbed—while I sued <br />His sweet forgiveness— <br />Jesus—it's your little "John"! <br />Don't you know—me?<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/he-strained-my-faith/
