U ask me why I love her, and you pauseY Magnanimous, that I may make replyHanding you deftly parceled everycause,Saying with confidence, “Lo, this is why.”But I am mute as if I had no tongue,Without reason as if I had no mind,This song the most familiar ever sung,Is lost to me like a leaf caught in the wind.
