The New Year
George MacDonald
Make poor the body, but make rich the heart:
What man that bears his sheaves, gold-nodding, home,
Will heed the paint rubbed from his groaning cart!
Nor leave behind thy fears and holy shames,
Thy sorrows on the horizon hanging low—
Gray gathered fuel for the sunset-flames
When joyous in death’s harvest-home we go.
*** From the new book,
My Little King: George MacDonald’s Christmas Stories and Songs
