How Do I Love Thee........

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 with a passion put to use In my old grief’s, 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.

~ By Elizabeth Barrett Browning ~

    hi just thought of a wee scottish poem when i saw your great shot
    my love is like a red red rose
    thats newly sprung in june
    my love is like a melody
    thats sweetly played in tune

    as fair art thou my bonnie lass
    so deep in love am i
    an i will love thee still my dear
    till aw the seas gang dry

    there is a couple of more verses but didny want tae bore you but i thought the words complimented your shot hope ye dont mind

  • bamagirl38

    bamagirl38 in reply to joak’s comment, 6 months ago
