“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 an Eye
Wherefore it shut
when He was by
Because He knows it cannot speak
And reasons not contained
Of Talk
There be
preferred by Daintier Folk
The Sunrise
Sire
compelleth Me
Because He’s Sunrise
and I see
Therefore
Then
I love Thee
- Emily Dickinson
