A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

George MacDonald

Cold my heart, and poor, and low,
    Like thy stable in the rock;
Do not let it orphan go,
    It is of thy parent stock!
Come thou in, and it will grow
    High and wide, a fane divine;
Like the ruby it will glow,
    Like the diamond shine!

What are tags?
