CREDO, by                    
First Line: This is my creed
Last Line: The bride be dead.
Subject(s): Faith; Love; Singing & Singers; Belief; Creed; Songs


This is my creed:
Walk the wide furrows of the spring
Sowing ripe seed,
Although the grain autumnal birth will bring,
Harbour a weed.

This is my will:
Sing, young and passionate, your song
From a high hill,
Nor modulate the beat, though one among the throng
Use it for ill.

Thus have I pled:
Prepare a bed where Love himself might rest,
Sweet linen spread,
Though ere he come, the long-awaited guest,
The bride be dead.
