Excerpt from The Amen Corner, and Other Verses The Amen Corner How shall the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks? - Paul. Part First 1 In a church retired, in a quiet wood, - We old folks were young folks then - On either hand where the pulpit stood, Was a comer we called the Amen. Sleepy Hollow, the frivolous said, Heavenly Rest, said some, But what's in a name? through sun or shade You would see the old folks come, At morn or eve of the Holy Day, And quietly entering, then, Would bow their heads in the Amen Corner, And softly say Amen. 2. The Local Preacher always sat At the end of the forward pew. His red bandanna, and white cravat, Distinguished in the view. Albeit, a worthy man, well tried, Obedient to his call, His office duly magnified As saith Apostle Paul, Nor loth to exercise his gifts, He beamed with unction when He was holding forth, and the Amen Comer Responding in full Amen.
