-POEM
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 idea! Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quick need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, ss men strive for Right;
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, fore thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God ghouse, I shall bat love thee better after death.
