CANADIAN SINGERS AND THEIR SONGS

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

From "The Piper and the Reed"
