    This poem expresses love for an unnamed person because, like natural phenomena, their presence cannot be resisted and does not need justification. The speaker loves this person as inevitably as the grass bends to the wind, the eyes close at lightning, and one sees the sunrise - it is simply the natural order and reasons beyond what can be said.

    Because The Wind does not require the Grass To answerWherefore when He pass She cannot keep Her place. Because He knowsand Do not You And We know not Enough for Us The Wisdom it be so The Lightningnever asked an Eye Wherefore it shutwhen He was by Because He knows it cannot speak And reasons not contained Of Talk There bepreferred by Daintier Folk The SunriseSirecompelleth Me Because He's Sunriseand I see ThereforeThen I love Thee
