I looked here - A poem by Stephen Crane

Stephen Crane - I looked here

I looked here;
I looked there;
Nowhere could I see my love.
And -- this time --
She was in my heart.
Truly, then, I have no complaint,
For though she be fair and fairer,
She is none so fair as she
In my heart.

I think that this poem is about his search for perfection and true love, and though he cannot find it, he is not sad because he has perfection and love in his heart. He was a dreamer and had very high standards and probably visions of some magical fairy-tale kind of true love. He set himself up for disappointment by having dreams, but because he dreams he doesn't even realize that he is wasting away waiting for something to happen on its own, instead of working for it.

He is searching for this perfect soul mate but she is in only a figment or expectation that goes unfulfilled. However he does not feel at loss because his expectation exceeds the beauty of all real women.
