REASON FOR LOVE'S BLINDENESS by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE

Poet Analysis

First Line: I HAVE HEARD OF REASONS MANIFOLD
Last Line: HE SEETH WITH THE HEART.
Subject(s): LOVE;
I have heard of reasons manifold
Why Love must needs be blind,
But this the best of all I hold --
His eyes are in his mind.
What outward form and feature are
He guesseth but in part;
But that within is good and fair
He seeth with the heart.
