Music soars in glow of Sunday air, These days, never a rare affair; For heaven's door is ever open- For the sinners, always hopin'! Softly goes the scented breeze, That welcomes gradual honeybees; In the warm stillness of the day, Honeyed voices and organ convey! In raptures of the dreamy summer, Come songs of soloist and drummer, In devout and lush praise of God, And larks tweet as though to laud. Then the minister's mellow voice, Informs all that there is a choice, And this is so dramatically true, As sun's nearness at bloom's debut! And the soldiers are now sleeping, And so the devil is now weeping, To hear sweet sounds of devotion, From the heart's most pure emotion!

With scents and blooms and honeybees, and sinners and the devil and soldiers too, I felt transported to a good old-fashioned church in the country, where the preacher really preached, the church-goers sang out loud, and the Sunday meal was a long, rolling affair. Bravo for penning it so, Evelyn! Best always, Gershon

Gershon, I am glad to have awakened so many sensations for you, and it was a pleasure! It's also nice to know that you were transported to a good old fashioned Sunday service. Thank you for the very lovely comment. Warmest wishes, Evelyn
