James Grahame (April 22, 1765 - September 14, 1811), was known as the Scottish "Poet Laureate of the Covenant."

His best known work, perhaps, is "The Sabbath." An excerpt:

How still the morning of the hallow'd day!
Mute is the voice of rural labour, hush'd
The ploughboy's whistle, and the milkmaid's song.
