"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—
Emily loves because of Him She loves Him because He is The Wind, The Wisdom, The Lightning, The Voice, Life Itself The Light

The Lightning—never asked an Eye Wherefore it shut a lovely and beautiful poem
It is one of my favourite poems by Emily Dickinson.Love is so a natural process that it does not answer a question ' why '.Love happens naturally and it is felt without any reasoning.
