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 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 shal but love thee better after death.Grow old along with me!The best is yet to be.Two human loves make one dived.
