'Behold, it is the Sabbath morn.'

And I arose, and I released

The casement, and the light increased

With freshness in the dawning east.

Like softened airs that blowing steal,

When meres begin to uncongeal,

The sweet church-bells began to peal.

On to God's house the people pressed,

Passing the place where each must rest,

Each entered like a welcome guest.
