First Line: I love you - not because your lips
Last Line: Which looks those virgin windows through.
Subject(s): Love


I LOVE you -- not because your lips
Are sweetly curved like Cupid's bow;
But for the words they softly frame,
Tender and loving, sweet and low.

I love you -- not because your hand
Is small and dimpled, soft and warm;
But for its pressure, mute caress,
I'd gladly brave life's hardest storm.

I love you -- not because your eyes
Are sparkling, bright, or raven hue;
But for your pure, unspotted soul
Which looks those virgin windows through.
