Explore "Song of the Innocents" by George MacDonald on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Merry, merry we well may be, / For Jesus Christ is come down to see: / Long before, at the top of the stair, / He set our angels a waiting there, / Waiting hither and thither to fly, / Tending the children of the sky, / Lest they dash little feet against big stones, / And tumble down and break little bones; / For the path is rough, and we must not roam; / We have learned to walk, and must follow him home!
