"Why do I love" You, Sir?
Because—
...

88

As by the dead we love to sit,
Become so wondrous dear—
...

549

That I did always love
I bring thee Proof
...

'Why do I love' You, Sir?
Because—
The Wind does not require the Grass
To answer—Wherefore when He pass
...

156

You love me—you are sure—
I shall not fear mistake—
...

394

'Twas Love—not me—
Oh punish—pray—
...

487

You love the Lord—you cannot see—
You write Him—every day—
...

434

To love thee Year by Year—
May less appear
...

826

Love reckons by itself—alone—
"As large as I"—relate the Sun
...

Love—is anterior to Life—
Posterior—to Death—
...

568

We learned the Whole of Love—
The Alphabet—the Words—
...

917

Love—is anterior to Life—
Posterior—to Death—
...

573

The Test of Love—is Death—
Our Lord—"so loved"—it saith—
...

Love—is that later Thing than Death—
More previous—than Life—
Confirms it at its entrance—And
Usurps it—of itself—
...

453

Love—thou art high—
I cannot climb thee—
...

673

The Love a Life can show Below
Is but a filament, I know,
...

887

We outgrow love, like other things
And put it in the Drawer—
...

453

Love—thou art high—
I cannot climb thee—
...
