Explore "Consider the Ravens" by George MacDonald on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Lord, according to thy words, / I have considered thy birds; / And I find their life good, / And better the better understood: / Sowing neither corn nor wheat / They have all that they can eat; / Reaping no more than they sow / They have more than they could stow; / Having neither barn nor store, / Hungry again, they eat more.
Considering, I see too that they / Have a busy life, and plenty of play; / In the earth they dig their bills deep / And work well though they do not heap; / Then to play in the air they are not loath, / And their nests between are better than both.
