Nature's Religion

Brabazon Newcomen Casement (1852-1910), "Nature's Religion," in R.Y. Tyrrell and Edward Sullivan, edd., Echoes from Kottabos (London: E. Grant Richards, 1906), p. 261:
To me no shrine with walls of clay,
No dome engirt with marble towers;
I worship thee in the open day
Amid the meadows and the flowers.

The shadows of the mighty trees
To me are dim religious light;
To me the murmurs of the breeze
Are voices of the infinite.
Not a great poem, but worth adding to the following collection:
Tyrrell and Sullivan attribute the poem to B.M.C., i.e. Brabazon M. Casement, but I think the author was Brabazon Newcomen Casement.
