THE MYSTERY
I NEVER know why 't is I love thee so:I do not think 't is that thine eyes for meGrow bright as sudden sunshine on the sea;Nor for thy rose-leaf lips, or breast of snow,Or voice like quiet waters where they flow.
So why I love thee well I cannot tell:Only it is that when thou speak'st to me'T is thy voice speaks, and when thy face I seeIt is thy face I see; and it befellThou wert, and I was, and I love thee well.
