Religion

Anonymous

by John Banister Tabb 1845–1909

From Lyrics (1897)

Religion

Anonymous — nor needs a name
To tell the secret whence the flame,
With light, and warmth, and incense, came
A new creation to proclaim.

So was it when, His labor done,
God saw His work, and smiled thereon:
His glory in the picture shone,
But name upon the canvas, none.
