"Why do I love" You, Sir?
"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 --
Enjoy the poem with beautiful music.

Who wrote the poem <"Why do I love" You, Sir?>
Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886)
Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was an American poet who was born in Amherst, Massachusetts. She spent most of her adult life at the family home in isolation, attending to her ill mother. Introverted and timid, she never married or sought a permanent romantic relationship all her life. Although she wrote nearly 1,800 poems during her lifetime, her poetry was largely misunderstood or underrated while she was alive. Her poems were quite original and disregarded many conventional rules, containing short lines, typically lacking titles, and often using imperfect rhyme and odd-looking syntax. Her poetry however captures universal feelings in a simple sentence with unique but resonating metaphors and reflects the poet’s lively, imaginative, and dynamic inner world. Her poetic genius began to be appreciated only after her death when her sister published her works. Now Dickinson is regarded as one of the most important American poets.
<"Why do I love" You, Sir?> explanation
In the poem, the speaker talks about the
reason she loves God. Like the grass moved by the wind and an eye shut by the
lightning, there is no reason for her love for God other than the simple fact
that God exists. Dickinson is known for her lifelong inner struggle with
religious belief and her reluctance to mindlessly conform to the conventional
religious expectations of her time.
