The Poems and Prose Remains of Arthur Hugh Clough/Volume 2/'With Whom is no Variableness, neither Shadow of Turning'

by Arthur Hugh Clough

'WITH WHOM IS NO VARIABLENESS, NEITHER
SHADOW OF TURNING.'

It fortifies my soul to know
That, though I perish, Truth is so:
That, howsoe'er I stray and range,
Whate'er I do, Thou dost not change.
I steadier step when I recall
That, if I slip, Thou dost not fall.
