Faith Unfaithful

Mute, with signs I speak:

Blind, by groping seek:

Heed; yet nothing hear:

Feel; find no one near.

Deaf, eclipsed, and dumb,

Through this gloom I come

On the time-path trod

Toward ungranted God.

Carnal, I can claim

Only his known name

Dying, can but be

One with him in me.

Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967).
