Religion

The Donkey in the Cart to the Horse in the Carriage: II

by George MacDonald 1824–1905

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

Religion

Your legs are long, mine are short; I am lean, you are fatter;
Your step is bold and free, mine goes pitter-patter;
Your head is in the air, and mine hangs down like lead--
But then my two great ears are so heavy on my head!
