Why, my heart, do we love her so?
Why does the great sea ebb and flow? –
Why does the round world spin?
Bid me my life renew:
What is it worth unless I win,
Love–love and you?
Why, my heart, when we speak her name
Throbs the word like a flinging flame? –
Why does the Spring begin?
Bid me indeed to be:
Open your heart, and take us in,
Love–love and me.
I love this poem.It is just simple and clear.Every line takes me deep in the valleys full of mist and mysterious love.Just simple warmth of love and passion which drives an individual.Brilliance!
Very soothing indeed.. the feeling.. the love..
I agree Nish – a simplistic yet sufficient beautiful poem. It was new to me – thank you. 🙂
