“Why Do I Love” You, Sir
Emily Dickinson
“Why do I love” You, Sir?
Becauseā
The Wind does not require the Grass
To answerāWherefore when He pass
She cannot keep Her place.
Because He knowsāand
Do not Youā
And We know notā
Enough for Us
The Wisdom it be soā
The Lightningānever asked an Eye
Wherefore it shutāwhen He was byā
Because He knows it cannot speakā
And reasons not containedā
āOf Talkā
There beāpreferred by Daintier Folkā
The SunriseāSireācompelleth Meā
Because He’s Sunriseāand I seeā
ThereforeāThenā
I love Theeā
