Hope And Patience

Title:     Hope And Patience
Author: George MacDonald [More Titles by MacDonald]

An unborn bird lies crumpled and curled,
A-dreaming of the world.

Round it, for castle-wall, a shell
Is guarding it well.

_Hope_ is the bird with its dim sensations;
The shell that keeps it alive is _Patience_.

[The end]
George MacDonald's poem: Hope And Patience
