Longing.

[[right margin]][[circled number]]46 [[/right margin]]

Come back into my heart, its doors await
To shut you in, love, linger not too long,
I hold in trust for you-through some kind fate;
Come, love, with your sweet peace, for it grows late,
Come back, for you are right, the great world wrong,
Come back with your strong faith to make me strong,
To banish doubt-and discontent and hate.

Come back to fill my life with truth, thy dower,
As Heaven is filled each day with radiant light-
[[strikethrough]] With [[/strikethrough]] For love that looks not to itself hath power
To conquer moods that dim my [[strikethrough]] soul's clear [[/strikethrough]] spirit's light,-
Come back into my heart-through each long hour
I call and call throughout the deepening night.

Transcription Notes:
It appears the author began to write "To" in 3rd sentence of the 2nd paragraph, but decided on "For."
