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 end of Being and ideal Grace.

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 end of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!-and if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

For say a foolish thing enough…
... The same thing
Shall pass at last for absolutely wise,
And not with fools exclusively.
