WHYs


"Why do love your" darling.
"Why?' do hear you ask2
The reasons are so many
Mine is no easy task.
] love you for your beauty,
For you are passing fair;
love You for your soul-lit eyes
And for your clustring hair.
/ love you for those little hands,
So shapely, small and white,
That rest, like trembling doves, in mine
When you breathe low-"gooi night"
And love you for the rose leaves
Which blush upon your checks;
love you for that soft, rich, voice
That like sweet music speaks.
But more / love you, darling,
Because you're pure and good
Your guileless heart BEATS as truly
AS ever an angels could.
love you because twas fated
That such love should be,
And, among these many cause:-
BE, a Use, love, you love me. 5. I.
