AN EXTRA SABBATH by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: I KNOW IT IN THE MORNING
Last Line: "IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK!"
Subject(s): SABBATH; SUNDAY;
I know it in the morning
At the opening of the eyes,
By the holy silent mystery
That all about me lies;

By the smoothness of the spirit,
And the clarity of mind,
And the blessed, calm forgetfulness
Of matters left behind;

And by those inner voices
That whisperingly speak:
"This day shall be a Sunday,
In the middle of the week!"
