In this episode, we’re continuing our series using selections from the poetry of George MacDonald. Today we’re reading a selection from “O Lord How Happy.”

Where thou hast been before;

… Again the loud boughs thunder! and the din
Licks up my footfall from the hissing earth!
But I have found a mighty peace within,
And I have risen into a home of mirth!
Wildly I climb above the shaking spires,
Above the sobbing clouds, up through the steady fires!

Are always at home.
