Classic and Contemporary Poetry

I AM THE WAY' by ALICE MEYNELL

Poet Analysis

First Line: THOU ART THE WAY
Last Line: ART THOU, TIME, WAY, AND WAYFARER.
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST; RELIGION; THEOLOGY;
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.
