   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.

Author's Comments

Love is not limited by time or age or space,
It is the highest expression of human emotion.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------



Each person must learn that nothing can break love's bond, not even the face of death, and thats this is one treasure that makes life beautiful!

A poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Deep.....It's really pretty if you close your eyes when you read some of it and then do that for the whole poem because the lines envelope in your head.
