Explore "A Father to a Mother" by George MacDonald on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When God's own child came down to earth, / High heaven was very glad; / The angels sang for holy mirth; / Not God himself was sad!
Shall we, when ours goes homeward, fret? / Come, Hope, and wait on Sorrow! / The little one will not forget; / It's only till to-morrow!
