Death & Dying
The Donkey in the Cart to the Horse in the Carriage: XIII
From The poetical works of George MacDonald in two volumes — Volume 2
Death & Dying
Few blows I get, some hay, and of water many a draught:
I tell you he's no coster that sits upon my shaft!
And for the knacker's yard--that's not my destined bed:
No donkey ever yet saw himself there lying dead.
