The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

April 26

I look for thee, and do not see thee come.—

If I could see thee, 'twere a commoner thing,

And shallower comfort would thy coming bring.

Earth, sea, and air lie round me moveless dumb,

Never a tremble, an expectant hum,

To tell the Lord of Hearts is drawing near:

Lo! in the looking eyes, the looked for Lord is here.
