The sonnet explores the superior power of faith and God over human institutions. It portrays faith as an unquenchable force that outlasts and overshadows government, enduring through challenges with quiet strength. It then elevates God as the ultimate authority, whose will surpasses all earthly powers and mortal schemes, existing eternally beyond human limitations. The poem concludes by affirming faith’s triumph over human rule and God’s transcendent dominion over all.
Faith rises high above the halls of power,
A flame no mortal edict can constrain,
Through storm and dark, it blooms—a steadfast flower,
Defying chains of law with sweet refrain.
While governments in pomp and pride may reign,
Their scepters bend beneath time’s ceaseless call,
Yet faith endures, a thread through joy and pain,
Its quiet might outshines the grandest hall.
But greater still, the One who shaped the skies,
Beyond all thrones, His will alone supreme,
In awe, the heart beholds what never dies,
A force unbound by flesh or fleeting dream.
So faith outstrips the rule of human hands,
And God’s vast will transcends all mortal plans.
