Religion

 

I worship a nameless god
In whom I half-believe;
His nameless feet have trod
Where men rejoice and grieve;

His nameless altar stands
Among the virgin trees,
In far and foreign lands,
Unstirred by any breeze.

No creed is handed down;
No rites are acted out;
No priest in pompous gown –
No book, no pious doubt;

I only know him thus:
When through the toil and strain
Come words melodious,
He smiles in my brain.
