“O sweet spontaneous” by E.E. Cummings [w/ Audio]

Posted on by 
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)
