HOW DO I LOVE THEE

HOW DO I LOVE THEE

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, all of my life! --- and, if God choose,

I shall but love thee better after death.

How do I love thee?

Elizabeth Barrett Browing (1770-1850)
