Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church - Emily Dickinson


 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.

 God preaches, a noted Clergyman - 
And the sermon is never long,
So instead of getting to Heaven, at last - 
I'm going, all along.
