SOME KEEP THE SABBATH GOING TO CHURCH, by EMILY DICKINSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: I'm going, all along Subject(s): Sabbath; Worship | |||
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 | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...COMPANIONSHIP by MALTBIE DAVENPORT BABCOCK FOR I WILL CONSIDER YOUR DOG MOLLY by DAVID LEHMAN RUSSIAN CATHEDRAL by CLAUDE MCKAY LITTLE WHITE CHURCH by MARILYN NELSON A STEEPLE ON THE HOUSE by ROBERT FROST MATE (1) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON ANSWER TO PRAYER by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON THE TEN COMMANDMENTS by GEORGE SANTAYANA FAITH' IS A FINE INVENTION by EMILY DICKINSON |
