Religion

Lost but Safe

by George MacDonald 1824–1905

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

Religion

Lost the little one roams about,
Pathway or shelter none can find;
Blinking stars are coming out;
No one is moving but the wind;
It is no use to cry or shout,
All the world is still as a mouse;
One thing only eases her mind:
"Father knows I'm not in the house!"
