'A poem should be equal to:
Not true
For all the history of grief
An empty doorway and a maple leaf
For love
The leaning grasses and two lights above the sea -
A poem should not mean
But be'
- Archibald MacLeish

Yes, indeed - the 'why' of love
and - can't forget
spiritual heights
Of course they have
no clue -
the swerves
and hesitations
of embarrassed
silence
and the hesitant title
-'Why do I love' You, Sir? -
juxtaposing query
and Formal Address
emphasizes the very nature
of unspoken affection
the power and glory
of love

The 'why' of love cannot be explained. It just is.

Captures well the spiritual heights of love. Silence, yet the energy forces of a love's spell upon the person. Though taken from a woman's point of view, it captures the submissiveness of a woman's love, toward a man.

Many famous poems are analyzed online somewhere or other. I searched for: Emily Dickinson 'Why do I love' You, Sir?
and there were many sites. One of them was:

It seemed like a good analysis. You might start there...

I'm doing a project on Emily Dickinson for my 11th grade American Literature class, and i need to find a poem by Miss Emily Dickinson and then analyze it, i chose this poem, but i don't really understand it, so if anybody could please explain it to me and help me to better understand it, i would be extremely grateful.

Yes, love does not need a reason to love. Dickinson has said it so beautifully and energetically...

simply amazing. i love the last stanza:
'The Sunrise—Sire—compelleth Me—
Because He's Sunrise—and I see—
Therefore—Then—
I love Thee—'
Dickinson has a very unique style, its in my opinion choppy but still has a flow.

Dickinson has always filled me with emotion. Her use of visuals and alligory is something to aspire to! Great piece!

I feel my poem, 'why do i love you' pales in comparison to Emily Dickinsons. I invite your comments too. Why do i love you, i ask myself lover? For what have u done so unique from another...'
