Either Few Or Untrue

The eyes that never shed tears
And a heart that never trembled;
The mind that never knew fears
And a man that never fumbled;
If there is any—or that ever was,—
I really doubt it is the least true!

The tongue that never told lies
And a saint that never repented;
The love that never failed twice
And a spirit that never fainted;
If there is any—or that ever was,—
I am very sure they are but few!

The life that never missed road
And a hope that never wandered;
The faith that never waxed cold
And a soul that never wondered;
If there is any—or that ever was,—
I still doubt if it could be so true!
