You Don'T Believe - Poem by William Blake
Blake contrasts reason and Newtonian science with faith, believing without proof, and Jesus' message. He says trying to convince non-believers is pointless, as they are asleep, dreaming of reason instead of truly seeing life's beauty. Blake sides with faith over doubt, encouraging believers to have faith without needing scientific proof or reason for why.

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
