Explore "Two in One" by George MacDonald on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Were thou and I the white pinions / On some eager, heaven-born dove, / Swift would we mount to the old dominions, / To our rest of old, my love!
Were thou and I trembling strands / In music's enchanted line, / We would wait and wait for magic hands / To untwist the magic twine.
Were we two sky-tints, thou and I, / Thou the golden, I the red; / We would quiver and glow and darken and die, / And love until we were dead!
Nearer than wings of one dove, / Than tones or colours in chord, / We are one -- and safe, and for ever, my love, / Two thoughts in the heart of one Lord.
