Religion
A Prisoner
From The poetical works of George MacDonald in two volumes — Volume 2
Religion
The hinges are so rusty
The door is fixed and fast;
The windows are so dusty
The sun looks in aghast:
Knock out the glass, I pray,
Or dash the door away,
Or break the house down bodily,
And let my soul go free!
