How Do I Love Thee?
How would I cherish thee? Give me a chance to tally the ways.
I adore thee to the profundity and expansiveness and stature
My spirit can achieve, when getting a handle on of sight
For the finishes of Being and perfect Grace.
I cherish thee to the level of consistently's
Most calm need, by sun and candlelight.
I cherish thee unreservedly, as men make progress toward Right;
I cherish thee absolutely, as they turn from Praise.
I cherish with an enthusiasm put to utilize
In my old griefs, and with my adolescence's confidence.
I cherish thee with an adoration I appeared to lose
With my lost holy people,— I cherish thee with the breath,
Grins, tears, of all my life!— and, if God pick,
I should however cherish thee better after death.
