The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

December 7

I said to myself, "Lo, I lie in a dream

Of separation, where there comes no sign;

My waking life is hid with Christ in God,

Where all is true and potent—fact divine."

I will not heed the thing that doth but seem;

I will be quiet as lark upon the sod;

God's will, the seed, shall rest in me the pod.
