The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

April 3

I have had dreams of absolute delight,

Beyond all waking bliss—only of grass,

Flowers, wind, a peak, a limb of marble white;

They dwell with me like things half come to pass,

True prophecies:—when I with thee am right,

If I pray, waking, for such a joy of sight,

Thou with the gold, wilt not refuse the brass.
