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 every day'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 the 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.
