Norman Dello Joio - How Do I Love Thee? lyrics

[Norman Dello Joio - How Do I Love Thee? lyrics]

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 candlelight
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’s 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
