Unpublished poem by George MacDonald

October 14, 2021 - Reading time: ~1 minute

Go not forth to call Dame Sorrow
From the dim fields of Tomorrow;
Let her roam there all unheeded,
She will come when she is needed;
Then, when she draws near thy door,
She will find God there before.

—George MacDonald, unpublished poem;
recited by Jerry Root at Hutchmoot Homebound, October 2021
