"Why do I love" You, Sir?

Heggie, Jake

"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 --
