Read the quotation from "Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church

And instead of tolling the Bell, for Church,
Our little Sexton - sings.
What is the most likely reason for the poet to oppose the phrases "tolling the Bell" and "sings" in these lines?
The poet is expressing her belief that the second, more natural option is far more desirable than the first option.
The poet is hinting that religious worship should be considered a gloomy and serious activity
The poet is suggesting that those who worship in nature are more formal than those who worship in church.
The poet is contrasting her attitude about religion with her feelint about the natural world, which remains largely
unappreciated
