Canadian Singers and Their Songs/Robert Norwood
ROBERT NORWOOD
AUTHOR OF "HIS LADY OF THE SONNETS," "THE WITCH OF ENDOR; A
TRAGEDY," "THE PIPER AND THE REED," AND "THE MODERNISTS."
I have no temple and no creed,
I celebrate no mystic rite;
The human heart is all I need,
Wherein I worship day and night.
The human heart is all I need,
For I have found God ever there—
Love is the one sufficient creed
And comradeship the purest prayer!
I bow not down to any book,
No written page holds me in awe;
For when on one friend’s face I look,
I read the Prophets and the Law!
Robert Norwood
