A Sabbath Day
1.  Morning (to M.C.)
2.  Full Day (to K.D.)
3.  Dusk (to E.S.V) 
4.  Evensong (to B.M.)
5.  
Night (to H.S.S.)

In five watches, A Sabbath Day paints the scene of a time in the distant past by when chivalrous knights roamed the land and Lancelot and Guinevere still lived and laughed.

John Drinkwater's poems are based upon a walk that he took one day with friends in the Malvern Hills. Each poem has the initials of these friends.

Dedicated to my wife and poet - Ingrid Prosser
