The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

January 30

Come to me, Lord: I will not speculate how,

Nor think at which door I would have thee appear,

Nor put off calling till my floors be swept,

But cry, "Come, Lord, come any way, come now."

Doors, windows, I throw wide; my head I bow,

And sit like some one who so long has slept

That he knows nothing till his life draw near.
