The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

March 18

I love you, my sweet children, who are gone

Into another mansion; but I know

I love you not as I shall love you yet.

I love you, sweet dead children; there are none

In the land to which ye vanished to go,

Whose hearts more truly on your hearts are set—

Yet should I die of grief to love you only so.
