Faith Poems

“Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into.” No greater truth could have been said about faith and leave it to Gandhi to leave us with these wise words. Faith quotes help us to appreciate our journey in faith, which helps us shed our earthy bonds and believe in something greater than our immediate situation or ourselves. Though illness, heartache, misfortune or sorrow may temporarily grip us, our faith sees us through these tough times, helping us get through them and taking us ultimately, beyond.

John Keats
Ode To Autumn by John Keats
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run;
To bend with apples the mossed cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core… [ Read More ]

William Shakespeare
Sonnet 141: In faith, I do not love thee with mine eyes by William Shakespeare
In faith, I do not love thee with mine eyes,
For they in thee a thousand errors note;
But 'tis my heart that loves what they despise,
Who in despite of view is pleased to dote.
Nor are mine cars with thy tongue's tune delighted,
Nor tender feeling to base touches pro… [ Read More ]

"I've been having these

Holy Sonnet VIII: If Faithful Souls Be Alike Glorified by John Donne
If faithful souls be alike glorified
As angels, then my fathers soul doth see,

That valiantly I hells wide mouth o'erstride:
But if our minds to these souls be descried
By circumstances, and by signs that be
Apparent in us, n… [ Read More ]

Faith and Despondency by Emily Bronte
The winter wind is loud and wild,
Come close to me, my darling child;
Forsake thy books, and mateless play;
And, while the night is gathering grey,
We'll talk its pensive hours away;--

'Ierne, round our sheltered hall
November's gusts unheeded call;

The Rat Of Faith by Philip Levine
A blue jay poses on a stake

barely ruffles his tail feathers.
When he turns his attention
toward me, I face his eyes
without blinking. A week ago

German Faith by Friedrich Schiller
Once for the sceptre of Germany, fought with Bavarian Louis

But the envious fortune of war delivered the Austrian
Into the hands of the foe, who overcame him in fight.
With the throne he purchased his freedo… [ Read More ]

Living and a Dead Faith by William Cowper
The Lord receives his highest praise
From humble minds and hearts sincere;

Offends the righteous Judge's ear.

To mark the precepts' holy light,
To wage the warfare, watch, and pray,

If This Were Faith by Robert Stevenson
God, if this were enough,

Nut in the husk,
Nor dawn beyond the dusk,
Nor life beyond death:
God, if this were faith!

A Pathetic Ballad

Ben Battle was a soldier bold,
And used to war's alarms;

So he laid down his arms.

Said he, 'Let others shoot;
For here I leave my second leg,

John Lennon
"I am the Eggman, they are the Eggmen, I am the Walrus"

Along with Paul McCartney, who he met in a skiffle band in school, John Lennon went on to become one of the most profound and prolific songwriters, composers and performers in the history of music. Playing up to eight hours in small nightclubs early in their career, The Beatles broke out onto the world scene and forever changed the face of music, thanks in large part to the songwriting talent of Lennon and McCartney.
