"Why do I love" You, Sir?


"Why do I love" You, Sir?
Because-
The wind dose not require the Grass
To answer-wherefore when he passes
She cannot keep her place

Because He knows-
Do not you-
And we know not-
And enough for us
The wisdom to 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 Dantier Folk-

The Sunrise-Sir-compelleth Me-
Because he's Sunrise-and I see-
Therefore-Then-
I love thee-
