The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

March 13

I love thee, Lord, for very greed of love—

Not of the precious streams that towards me move,

But of the indwelling, outgoing, fountain store.

Than mine, oh, many an ignorant heart loves more!

Therefore the more, with Mary at thy feet,

I must sit worshipping—that, in my core,

Thy words may fan to a flame the low primeval heat.
