" 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. "

Oh, I love how she phrases that—though I can't say why:-)
"Dire qu'il suffit parfois Qu'il y ait un navire
Pour que tout se déchire
Quand le navire s'en va
Il emmenait avec lui
La douce aux yeux si tendres
Qui n'a pas su comprendre
Qu'elle brisait votre vie. "
