  • How Do I Love Thee? (Sonnet 43) by Elizabeth Barrett Browning




    How do I love thee1? Let me count the ways.

    I love thee to the depth and breadth2 and height

    My soul can reach, when feeling3 out of sight4

    For the ends of being and ideal grace.

    I love thee to the level of every day's5

    Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light6.

    I love thee freely7, as men strive for right.

    I love thee purely8, as they turn from praise.

    I love thee with the passion put to use9

    In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith10.

    I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

    With my lost saints11. I love thee with the breath12,

    Smiles, tears, of all my life13; and, if God choose,

    I shall but love thee better after death14


    1.thee: the poet's husband, Robert Browning
    2. depth, breadth: internal rhyme
    3. when . . . Grace: when my soul feels its way into the spiritual realm
    4. out of sight: to find the goal of being alive and living uprightly
    5,6. I love you enough to meet all of your simple needs during the day (sun) and even during the night (candle-light)
    7.freely: willingly–and just as intensely as men who fight for freedom
    8. purely: genuinely, without desire for praise
    9,10. with an intensity equal to that experienced during suffering or mourning; I love you with the blind faith of a child
    11. with . . . saints: with a childlike fervor for saints and holiness that I seemed to lose when I grew older.
    12. breath: echoes breadth, Line 2
    13. Smiles . . . life: perhaps too sentimental
    14. their love is eternal, never ending
