How Do I Love Thee - Sonnet 43 by Elizabeth B. Barrowing

Poetry by Elizabeth B. Barrowing gets me... This Sonnet is amazing. 


I am not sufficiently inspired to write this week hence this post. Enjoy it :)

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 candle light

I love thee freely, as men strive for right

I love thee purely as they turn from praise

I love thee with the passion put to use

In my old griefs, and with my childhood faith

I love thee with a love seemed to lose,

With my lost saints

I love thee with the breath, smiles, tears, of all my life;

And, if God chooses, I shall but love thee better after death!

P.s. Are you thinking Valentine's came late for me? Yes? Me too! :))

Blessed and LOVEly week. :-)
