George MacDonald - O Do Not Leave Me
Work rating: Low

O do not leave me, mother, lest I weep;
Till I forget, be near me in that chair.
The mother`s presence leads her down to sleep—
Leaves her contented there.

O do not leave me, lover, brother, friends,
Till I am dead, and resting in my place.
Love-compassed thus, the girl in peace ascends,
And leaves a raptured face.

Leave me not, God, until—nay, until when?
Not till I have with thee one heart, one mind;
Not till the Life is Light in me, and then
Leaving is left behind.
