Why hurt so hard by little pricks, <br />By chasing cares so clouded over, <br />Heart of mine? <br />Holding what no storm can unfix <br />Nor time corrupt, O tender lover! <br />Why repine? <br />In you so deep a fountain springs <br />Of faith and joy beyond all speech, <br />O happy heart! <br />How should those meanly thwarting things <br />Men do, the petty creeds they preach, <br />In you have part? <br /> <br />It is because, my heart replies, <br />There is such beauty to adore <br />Within, for ever,-- <br />Because I dwell in paradise, <br />That the world's chafing is a sore, <br />A fret, a fever. <br />Were there no fountain welling strong <br />In me, no vision heavenly--rare <br />Before my eyes, <br />There'd be for me no world of wrong <br />Without, lamenting to compare <br />With paradise.<br /><br />Robert Laurence Binyon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-colliquy/
