The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

September 9

Then love shall wake and be its own high life.

Then shall I know 'tis I that love indeed—

Ready, without a moment's questioning strife,

To be forgot, like bursting water-bead,

For the high good of the eternal dear;

All hope, all claim, resting, with spirit clear,

Upon the living love that every love doth breed.
