famous poem

why do
if i had known how narrow a prison is love
shades of night were falling fast
i have heard that a certain princess
why then, must we see?
out of me unworthy and unknown
under a spreading chestnut tree
green afternoon serene and bright
once this soft turf
i said, i have shut my heart
see i give myself to you
for i was a gaunt, grave councillor
not from the whole wide world
above them all, looking down
