Alexander Pope
See Christians, Jews, one heavy sabbath keep, And all the western world believe and sleep.
|
Bible
And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
|
George Herbert
Sundaies observe: think when the bells do chime, 'Tis angel's musick; therefore come not late.
|
George Herbert
The Sundaies of man's life, Thredded together on time's string, Make bracelets to adorn the wife Of the eternal, glorious King. On Sunday heaven's gates stand ope; Blessings are plentiful and rife. More plentiful than hope.
|
Henry Carey
Of all the days that's in the week, I dearly love but one day, And that's the day that comes betwixt A Saturday and Monday.
|
James Grahame
How still the morning of the hallow'd day! Mute is the voice of rural labour, hush'd The ploughboy's whistle, and the milkmaid's song.
|
John Milton
So sang they, and the empyrean rung With Hallelujahs. Thus was Sabbath kept.
|
John Peter Hebel
Gently on tiptoe Sunday creeps, Cheerfully from the stars he peeps, Mortals are all asleep below, None in the village hears him go; E'en chanticleer keeps very still, For Sunday whispered, 'twas his will.
|
Matthew Arnold
On Sundays, at the matin-chime, The Alpine peasants, two and three, Climb up here to pray; Burghers and dames, at summer's prime, Ride out to church from Chamberry, Dight with mantles gay, But else it is a lonely time Round the Church of Brou.
|
Robert Browning
Thou art my single day, God lends to leaven What were all earth else, with a feel of heaven.
|
Thomas Hood
Now, really, this appears the common case Of putting too much Sabbath into Sunday-- But what is your opinion, Mrs. Grundy?
|
Thomas Moore
For, bless the gude mon, gin he had his ain way, He's na let a cat on the Sabbath say "mew;" Nae birdie maun whistle, nae lambie maun play, An' Phoebus himsel' could na travel that day, As he'd find a new Joshua in Andie Agnew.
