The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

April 14

Lest I be humbled at the last, and told

That my great labour was but for my peace

That not for love or truth had I been bold,

But merely for a prisoned heart's release;

Careful, I humble me now before thy feet:

Whate'er I be, I cry, and will not cease—

Let me not perish, though favour be not meet.
