The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

'Tis but a vision, Lord; I do not mean

That thus I am, or have one moment been—

'Tis but a picture hung upon my wall,

To measure dull contentment therewithal,

And know behind the human how I fall;—

A vision true, of what one day shall be,

When thou hast had thy very will with me.
