Religion
A Rustic Shrine
Translated by Rennell Rodd (1916) · From Love, Worship and Death (1916)
Religion
I am the god of the little things,
In whom you will surely find,
If you call upon me in season,
A little god who is kind.
You must not ask of me great things,
But what is in my control,
I, Tychon, god of the humble,
May grant to a simple soul.
