Explore "I Would I were a Child" by George MacDonald on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I would I were a child, / That I might look, and laugh, and say, My Father! / And follow thee with running feet, or rather / Be led through dark and wild!
How I would hold thy hand, / My glad eyes often to thy glory lifting! / Should darkness 'twixt thy face and mine come drifting, / My heart would but expand.
