The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

August 21

Thou being in me, in my deepest me,

Through all the time I do not think of thee,

Shall I not grow at last so true within

As to forget thee and yet never sin?

Shall I not walk the loud world's busy way,

Yet in thy palace-porch sit all the day?

Not conscious think of thee, yet never from thee stray?
