Do I love thee? Ask the bee <br />If she loves the flowery lea, <br />Where the honeysuckle blows <br />And the fragrant clover grows. <br />As she answers, Yes or No, <br />Darling! take my answer so. <br /> <br />Do I love thee? Ask the bird <br />When her matin song is heard, <br />If she loves the sky so fair, <br />Fleecy cloud and liquid air. <br />As she answers, Yes, or No, <br />Darling! take my answer so. <br /> <br />Do I love thee? Ask the flower <br />If she loves the vernal shower, <br />Or the kisses of the sun, <br />Or the dew, when day is done. <br />As she answers, Yes or No, <br />Darling! take my answer so.<br /><br />John Godfrey Saxe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/do-i-love-thee-2/
