“I AM THE WAY”

By Alice Meynell

Thou art the Way.

Hadst Thou been nothing but the goal,

I cannot say

If Thou hadst ever met my soul.

I cannot see—

I, child of process—if there lies

An end for me,

Full of repose, full of replies.

I’ll not reproach

The road that winds, my feet that err.

Access, approach

Art Thou, Time, Way, and Wayfarer.
