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!
