The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

July 18

How do I live when thou art far away?—

When I am sunk, and lost, and dead in sleep,

Or in some dream with no sense in its play?

When weary-dull, or drowned in study deep?—

O Lord, I live so utterly on thee,

I live when I forget thee utterly—

Not that thou thinkest of, but thinkest me.
