Why Do I Love Thee?

Title:     Why Do I Love Thee?
Author: Walter R. Cassels [More Titles by Cassels]

'Tis not because thou art so fair,
So beautiful unto the sight;
'Tis not because thy silken hair
Curls o'er a neck of spotless white;
'Tis not because thy speaking eye
Claims kindred with the deep blue sky,
Alone I love thee!

No! 'tis because around thee gleams
The light of innocence and truth,
Adorning with its radiant beams,
And pure reflex the charms of youth;
Because thine every word and thought
With thy soul's gentleness is fraught,
Therefore I love thee!

[The end]
Walter R. Cassels's poem: Why Do I Love Thee?
