How do I love thee

By 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 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.

容我数算，我怎样爱你。

我爱你，爱在长阔高深，

我心所想，我灵所及，

茫茫人世，浩浩神恩。

我爱你，爱在生活日常，

平平淡淡，阳光烛光。

自由地爱，若追求公义，

纯洁地爱，任功名尽弃。

我爱你，胜过昔时忧伤，

我爱你，不忘童年信仰。

我爱你，如见在天诸圣，

我爱你，如是一呼一吸，

一笑一泪，一世一生！

我爱你，爱在死后永恒。
