Nature

Our Ship

by George MacDonald 1824–1905

From The poetical works of George MacDonald in two volumes — Volume 1

Nature

Had I a great ship coming home,
With big plunge o'er the sea,
What bright things, hid from star and foam,
Lay in her heart for thee!

The stormy billows heave and dip,
The wild winds veer and play;
But, regnant all, God's stately ship
Is steering home this way!
