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...
|
If thou must love me, let it be for nought |
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. |
I thought once how Theocritus had sung |
Ô Papillon si j’étais toi N’arrêterais certes mon aile |
“One name is Elizabeth.” I WILL paint her as I see her. And her face is lily-clear, |
LITTLE Ellie sits alone She has thrown her bonnet by, |
Go from me. Yet I feel that I shall stand |
If thou must love me, let it be for naught |
I Never gave a lock of hair away |
