Sunday Morning; from "The Lump of Gold", by Charles MacKay, drawn by Samuel Read, 1856. 'Embower'd amid the Surrey Hills The quiet village lay, Two rows of ancient cottages Beside the public way, A modest church, with ivied tower, And spire with mosses grey...Beneath the elm's o'erarching boughs...'Twas Sunday morn, and Parson Vale, Beloved of high and low, With smiles for all men's happiness, And heart for every woe, Walked meekly to the parish-church With hair as white as snow; Walked meekly to the parish-church Amid his daughters three; There were more angels at his side Than mortal eyes could see: The four were seven - for with them went Faith, Hope, and Charity'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
