You don't believe

You don't believe - I won't attempt to make ye.
You are asleep - I won't attempt to wake ye.
Sleep on! sleep on! while in your pleasant dreams
Of Reason you may drink of Life's clear streams.
Reason and Newton, they are quite two things;
For so the swallow and the sparrow sings.

Reason says "Miracle": Newton says "Doubt".
Aye! that's the way to make all Nature out.
"Doubt, doubt, and don't believe without experiment":
That is the very thing that Jesus meant,
When He said "Only believe! believe and try!
Try, try, and never mind the reason why!"

William Blake
