Scottish Poetry Selection
- Sabbath
Adown the meadow's breast of green
The tussock-shadows creep;
Tall chimneys far beyond are seen -
Asleep.
A sunny silence bathes the vale;
The daw along the hill,
The autumn robin's plaintive tale,
Are still.
In very truth, a Sabbath day:
The old benign behest
The very blades of grass obey
And Rest
Meaning of unusual words:
daw=dawn
