Religion

Waiting

by George MacDonald 1824–1905

From The poetical works of George MacDonald in two volumes — Volume 2

Religion

Lie, little cow, and chew thy cud,
The farmer soon will shift thy tether;
Chirp, linnet, on the frozen mud,
Sun and song will come together;
Wait, soul, for God, and thou shalt bud,
He waits thy waiting with his weather.
