Why do I love You, Sir?
Emily Dickinson
Why do I love You, Sir?
Because -
The Wind does not require the Grass
To answer - Wherefore when He pass
She cannot keep Her place.
Because He knows - and
Do not You -
And We know not -
Enough for us
The wisdom it be so -
The Lightning - never asked and Eye
Wherefore it shut - shen He was by -
Because He knows it cannot speak -
And reasons not contained -
- Of Talk -
There be - preferred by Daintier folk -
The Sunrise - Sir - compelleth Me -
Because He's sunrise - and I see -
Therefore - Then -
I love thee.
