When I was a teenager, my emotions ran very high as most of us. I want to share my favorite poem. When I read it, I would cry, this was the epitome of the expression of love. Home > Literature > Elizabeth Barrett Browning > Poems > Sonnets from the Portuguese > XLIII. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways... by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861) 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 everydays 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 childhoods 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.
