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 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.
