O Sweet spontaneous
by: e.e. cummings (1894-1962)
- O sweet spontaneous
- earth how often have
- the
- doting
- fingers of
- prurient philosophers pinched
- and
- poked
- thee
- , has the naughty thumb
- of science prodded
- thy
- beauty, how
- often have religions taken
- thee upon their scraggy knees
- squeezing and
- buffeting thee that thou mightest conceive
- gods
- (but
- true
- to the incomparable
- couch of death thy
- rhythmic
- lover
- thou answerest
- them only with
- spring)
