How do I love thee?

Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth andheight

My soul can reach, when feeling out ofsight

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 forright.

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’sfaith.

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 Godchoose,

I shall but love thee better after death.

我是多么爱你？让我细数端详。

我爱你，深广宽厚无可比拟。

我爱你，尽我灵魂之所及。

直至神灵无存，万物无踪。

我爱你日日夜夜而无尽期。

灿阳之下，烛影之中，昼夜、动静皆需你。

我爱你，单纯而专一，如同忘身以赴之大义。

我倾心爱你，何计身外之毁誉。

我爱你一片真情与挚意

远胜赤子之真诚，旧恨之抑郁。

我爱你情深似海洋

岂顾及神贤与神邸。

于博爱，用生命，

微笑与哭啼，以我全身心爱你，如蒙神允许，

在那形销骨化后，我会更爱你。
