How Do I Love Thee? 
By Elizabeth Barrett Browning 

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.


"Many are the starrs I see, 
but in my eye no starr like thee." 
 

Be Happy. God Bless.
