Explore "Christmas Song of the Old Children" by George MacDonald on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Well for youth to seek the strong, / Beautiful, and brave! / We, the old, who walk along / Gently to the grave, / Only pay our court to thee, / Child of all Eternity!
We are old who once were young, / And we grow more old; / Songs we are that have been sung, / Tales that have been told; / Yellow leaves, wind-blown to thee, / Childhood of Eternity!
