Henry Van Dyke - Love`s ReasonHenry Van Dyke - Love`s Reason
Work rating: Low


For that thy face is fair I love thee not; Nor yet because the light of thy brown eyes Hath gleams of wonder and of glad surprise, Like woodland streams that cross a sunlit spot: Nor for thy beauty, born without a blot, Most perfect when it shines through 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.
