I Carry Your Heart With Me...

I stumbled across this poem by E.E. Cummings and thought that I'd share it.  It's just soooooooooooooo beautiful that I needed to post it.  I wish I had come across this poem while I was doing poetry with my Freshmen!  I think they would have liked to read this verse.  I suppose it's not too late to introduce it to them. Enjoy!!

                                    i carry your heart with me

     i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
     my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
     i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
     by only me is your doing,my darling)
                                                           i fear
     no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
     no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
     and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
     and whatever a sun will always sing is you

     here is the deepest secret nobody knows
     (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
     and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
     higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
     and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

     i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

I can only imagine who he might have written this poem about!  So moving! I'm kind of jealous of whomever he wrote this poem for.  :-)
