Impartiality

I cannot say a scene is

Because it is beloved of

But I shall love to linger there,

For sake of thy dear memory;

I would not be so coldly

As to love only what I must.

I cannot say a thought is

Because thou foundest joy in it;

Each soul must choose its proper

Which Nature hath decreed most fit;

But I shall ever deem it

Because it made thy heart o'erflow.

I love thee for that thou art fair;

And that thy spirit joys in

Createth a new beauty there,

With throe own dearest image fraught;

And love, for others' sake that springs,

Gives half their charm to lovely things.
