You don't believe — I won't attempt to make ye

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 & the Sparrow sings.
Reason says 'Miracle': Newton says 'Doubt.'
Aye! that's the way to make all Nature out.

'Doubt, Doubt, & don't believe without experiment':
That is the very thing that Jesus meant,
When he said 'Only Believe! Believe & try!
Try, Try, & never mind the Reason why!'
