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, of all my life!
--and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee
better after death.


Elizabeth B. Browning
