[i carry your heart with me (i carry it in]
by E. E. Cummings

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)
