Elizabeth Barrett Browning - Sonnet XLIII: How Do I Love Thee?Elizabeth Barrett Browning - Sonnet XLIII: How Do I Love Thee?
Work rating: High


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.
