gena branscombe - how do i love thee? lyrics
Loading...
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 candlelight
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
