The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

April 10

Might I but scatter interfering things—

Questions and doubts, distrusts and anxious pride,

And in thy garment, as under gathering wings,

Nestle obedient to thy loving side,

Easy it were to love thee. But when thou

Send'st me to think and labour from thee wide,

Love falls to asking many a why and how.
