APPROACH by WINIFRED LUCAS

First Line: INTO MY HEART YOU COME A THOUSAND WAYS
Last Line: UNQUESTIONING ALL,—INNUMERABLY YOU.
Subject(s): LOVE;
INTO my heart you come a thousand ways;
In multitude you come;
New selves born freely of the changing days,—
Old selves that seek me confident of home.
My arms are opening for—I know not whom.

Oh life beloved that many a mood must share,
Is one too new,
Or wise, to trust me as the old ones do?
They come, they come!—The strange, familiar, dear;
Unquestioning all,—innumerably you.
