E. E. Cummings, “I carry your heart with me”
I carry your heart within me
Your heart is in mine
Never will I part with it
And I need no wondrous world,
And wherever I go, my dear,
Whatever I may be doing, my darling, you are with me.
I do not fear an earthly fate,
You are, you are my tenderness, my fate
I need no wondrous world,
You yourself are the marvelous world.
You are what the moon means. And whatever the sun sings is you.
I will tell this secret to no one: you are the foundation of foundations, the crown of crowns.
You are the root and the tender bud, the tree of life, the crown of the soul, like
A scattering of stars above my head.
I bear your heart within me.
I bear your heart in mine.
