I will Answer You…

Ask me why I love you

And I will ask the rose,

Why it loves the dews of spring 

At the Winter’s close,

Why the blossoms nectared sweets

Loved by questing bee,

I will gladly answer you,

If they answer me…

Ask me why I love you

And I will ask the flower,

Why it loves the Summer sun

Or the Summer shower,

I will ask the lover’s heart    

Why it loves the moon,

Or the star-besprinkled skies    

In a night in summer June,

I will gladly answer you,

If they answer me…

Ask me why I love you

I will ask the vine,

Why its tendrils trustingly

Round the oak entwine,

Why you love the jasmine 

Better than the roses hue,

If you will but answer me,    

I will answer you…

Ask me why I love you

Let the lark reply,

Why his heart is full of song  

When the twilight’s nigh,

Why the lover heaves a sigh   

When her heart is true,

If you will but answer me

I will answer you…
