Religion
December 23, 1879: VI
From The poetical works of George MacDonald in two volumes — Volume 2
Religion
But I bethink me of something better!--something better, yea best!
"I am lying a voiceless, featherless thing in God's own perfect nest;
And the voice and the song are growing within me, slowly lifting my
breast;
And his wide night-wings are closed about me, for his sun is down in the
west!"
