a sabbath trajectory

Some keep the Sabbath going to the 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.
