Public Domain Poetry And Stories - Forgiveness by George MacDonald Public domain poetry and public domain stories from the literary greats of yesteryear.
God gives his child upon his slate a sum--
To find eternity in hours and years;
With both sides covered, back the child doth come,
His dim eyes swollen with shed and unshed tears;
God smiles, wipes clean the upper side and nether,
And says, "Now, dear, we'll do the sum together!"
