How Do I Love Thee?
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
标题:我是如何的爱你
作者:伊丽莎白·巴雷特·勃朗宁
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 candle-light.
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.
我是如何爱你,请让我一一道来
我爱你至深,至广,至高
即使我的眼不能亲见,我的灵魂也将相随
为了抵达生命的尽头和极致的优雅
我爱你,一成不变
就像我每天都需要阳光和烛光
我自由地爱你,正如人们为正义而战
我纯洁地爱你,正如人们羞怯于赞美
我爱你,用我全部的热情
在我昔日的悲伤中,在我儿时的信仰里
我对你的爱,
抵得上我似乎已失去的爱和离去的圣徒
我将会用我一生的呼吸,微笑和眼泪来爱你
如果上天允许,在我死亡以后也会更加爱你
