-
How do I love thee Let me count the waysB
I love thee to the depth and breadth and heightC
My soul can reach when feeling out of sightC
For the ends of Being and ideal GraceD
I love thee to the level of everyday'sD
Most quiet need by sun and candle lightC
I love thee freely as men strive for RightC
I love thee purely as they turn from PraiseD
I love thee with the passion put to useD
In my old griefs and with my childhood's faithE
I love thee with a love I seemed to loseD
With my lost saints I love thee with the breathF
Smiles tears of all my life and if God chooseD
I shall but love thee better after deathF

Elizabeth Barrett Browning
