rough winds shake the darling buds of may.

How Do I Love Thee?
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.
