TO MY FIANCEE by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHY DO I LOVE YOU, DEAR? BECAUSE
Last Line: WHY DO I LOVE YOU, DEAR? BECAUSE!
Subject(s): LOVE; SINGLE PEOPLE; BACHELORS; UNMARRIED PEOPLE;
WHY do I love you, dear? Because
Your face is wondrous sweet and fair?
Before we marry, you would pause.

You ask, before our lots we share:
Why do I love you, dear? Because
Your mind is bright — your wit is rare.

Away with reasons and with laws!
This is the answer, I declare:
Why do I love you, dear? Because!
