Better trust all, and be deceived, <br />And weep that trust, and that deceiving; <br />Than doubt one heart, that, if believed, <br />Had blessed one's life with true believing. <br />Oh, in this mocking world, too fast <br />The doubting fiend o'ertakes our youth! <br />Better be cheated to the last, <br />Than lose the blessèd hope of truth.<br /><br />Frances Anne Kemble<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/faith-179/
