Nice lines

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 a 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
