A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

George MacDonald

Had I a great ship coming home,
  With big plunge o’er the sea,
What bright things, hid from star and foam,
  Lay in her heart for thee!

The stormy billows heave and dip,
  The wild winds veer and play;
But, regnant all, God’s stately ship
  Is steering home this way!
