Love
Reason for Love's Blindness
From Complete Poetical Works, ed. E. H. Coleridge (1912)
Love
I have heard of reasons manifold
Why Love must needs be blind,
But this the best of all I hold--
His eyes are in his mind.
What outward form and feature are
He guesseth but in part;
But that within is good and fair
He seeth with the heart.
