: : I have been a fan of this poem for so long and yet, I can only find it on one of the web sites that I regularly visit. But I cannot print it. So, I was wondering if anybody had a copy of the poem. : : The poems' name is "How Do I Love Thee?" : : Thank you, : : Miranda
: How do I love the 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 candlelight. : I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; : I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. : I love thee with pion put to use : In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith : love thee with a love I seemed to lose : With my lost saint- I love thee with the breadth : Smiles, tears, of all my life!- and, if God choose, : I shall but love thee better after death
