Sonnet 43 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 everyday'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 Barrett
Browning
