    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.

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.

Sundaies observe: think when the bells do chime,
'Tis angel's musick; therefore come not late.

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.

See Christians, Jews, one heavy sabbath keep,
And all the western world believe and sleep.

For, bless the gude mon, gin he had his ain way,
He's na let a cat on the Sabbath read more

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.
