WHY do I love thee, Sir?
Because—
The wind does not
Require the grass
To answer wherefore, when
He pass,
She cannot keep her place.

He pass,
She cannot keep her place.
The lightning never asked
An eye
Wherefore she shut when
He was by—
Because he knows
She cannot speak,
And reasons not contained
Of talk
There be—preferred by daintier folk.
