< < < The Child in the Garden

Love’s Reason
For that thy face is fair I love thee not; Nor yet because thy brown benignant eyes Have sudden gleams of gladness and surprise,Like woodland brooks that cross a sunlit spot:Nor for thy body, born without a blot, And loveliest when it shines with no disguise Pure as the star of Eve in Paradise,—For all these outward things I love thee not:
But for a something in thy form and face, Thy looks and ways, of primal harmony;A certain soothing charm, a vital grace That breathes of the eternal womanly,And makes me feel the warmth of Nature’s breast,When in her arms, and thine, I sink to rest.
