The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

June 29

I sit o'ercanopied with Beauty's tent,

Through which flies many a golden-winged dove,

Well watched of Fancy's tender eyes up bent;

A hundred Powers wait on me, ministering;

A thousand treasures Art and Knowledge bring;

Will, Conscience, Reason tower the rest above;

But in the midst, alone, I gladness am and love.
