"How do I
love thee? Let me count the ways..."
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861)
"How do I
love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee
to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can
reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends
of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee
to the level of everyday's
Most quiet
need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee
freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee
purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee
with a passion put to use
In my old
griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee
with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost
saints, --- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles,
tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,
I shall but
love thee better after death. "
