Why do I love You, Sir?


"Why do I love" You, Sir?
Because—
The Wind does not require the Grass
To answer—Wherefore when He pass
She cannot keep Her place.

Because He knows—and
Do not You—
And We know not—
Enough for Us
The Wisdom it be so—

The Lightning—never asked an Eye
Wherefore it shut—when He was by—
Because He knows it cannot speak—
And reasons not contained—
—Of Talk—
There be—preferred by Daintier Folk—

The Sunrise—Sire—compelleth Me—
Because He's Sunrise—and I see—
Therefore—Then—
I love Thee— 


Emily Dickinson




The  poet narrates her unconditional love to god, despite her fear.she describes her love to him happened without any reason,by saying, God does not need her to explain why she loves him, it is like the grass blending with the wind when it passes.
The poet shows her faith to god by describing that god know you better then you do,he understand your needs and deeds. she finds god as her protector describing that god as her eye lid who closes automatically when lightning comes. she consider him as her guide towards the path of life, by mentioning him as daintier folk. she portrays god as the sunrise who acts like a father, and therefore she loves him
