Brian Strand Poet Quatrain

Herbert-Trust Me

Faith is never blind
Faith's someone to trust,
             and to find -
when circumstances must !    


Note: This quatrain form is labelled after and inspired by a verse from George Herbert(1593-
1633) poem 'Discipline.'It has the rhyme scheme abab in 5/5/3/5 syllables.Here is that verse 
by George

Love is swift of foot
Love's a man of war
    and can shoot
And can hit from a far
