Explore "To the Same" by George MacDonald on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Dead, why defend thee, who in life / For thy worst foe hadst died; / Who, thy own name a word of strife, / Didst silent stand aside?
Grand in forgiveness, what to thee / The big world's puny prate! / Or thy great heart hath ceased to be / Or loveth still its mate!
