LOVE'S COMPASS by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: MILLIONS OF BIRDS FLY SOUTH
Last Line: I CAME TO YOU!
Subject(s): LOVE;

Millions of birds fly south,
Millions of birds return;
Across the high uncharted seas
Millions of ways they learn.

And through the millions of ways
Two birds return to me,
Finding the same old hollow bough
In the same old apple-tree.

And there are millions of girls?
My love, it may be true.
What wonder that, among them all,
I came to you!
