A Lowden Sabbath Morn is a narrative poem by Robert Louis Stevenson. Stevenson was a Scottish story writer, essayist, lyricist and travel writer. Excerpt:

"I

The clinkum-clank o' Sabbath bells

Noo to the hoastin' rookery swells,

Noo faintin' laigh in shady dells,

Sounds far an' near,

An' through the simmer kintry tells

Its tale o' cheer.

II

An' noo, to that melodious play,

A' deidly awn the quiet sway—

A' ken their solemn holiday,

Bestial an' human,

The singin' lintie on the brae,

The restin' plou'man."
