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 candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men
strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they
turn from Praise.
I love 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.
