A lovely, quiet weekend, with a lot of time spent in the garden. My guess is Emily would have approved...
Some keep the Sabbath going to Church –
I keep it, staying at Home –
With a Bobolink for a Chorister –
And an Orchard, for a Dome –
Some keep the Sabbath in Surplice –
I, just wear my Wings –
And instead of tolling the Bell, for Church,
Our little Sexton – sings.
Our little Sexton – sings.
God preaches, a noted Clergyman –
And the sermon is never long,
So instead of getting to Heaven, at last –
I’m going, all along.
In the name of the bee
And of the butterfly
And of the breeze, amen!
--from poems by Emily Dickinson
