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!
- "A Service of Song" by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
