The Donkey in the Cart to the Horse in the Carriage: VIII
From The poetical works of George MacDonald in two volumes — Volume 2
Social Commentaries
I told him I must trot in the shafts where I was put,
Nor look round at the cart, but set foremost my best foot;
It was rather rickety, and the axle wanted oil,
But I always slept at night with the deep sleep of toil!
