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 everyday'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 a 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.
