字號(hào):

How do I love thee?let me count the ways.
    I love thee to the depth and breadth and height to
    My soul can reach,when feeling out of sight
    For the ends of being and ideal crace.
    I love thee to the level of everyday's
    Most quiet need,by sun and candlelight.
    I love thee freely,as men strive for night;
    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 seened 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.
    我是如何愛你?
    我是如何愛你?讓我逐一細(xì)述。
    我愛你之深邃,之寬廣,之高遠(yuǎn)
    盡我的靈魂所能及之處-猶如探求
    玄冥中神的存在和美好之極。
    我愛你如每日之必需,
    陽光下和燭焰前都少不了。
    我自由地愛著你,像人們爭取他們的權(quán)利;
    我純潔地愛著你,如人們在贊美前會(huì)垂首。
    我愛你,帶著我昔日悲傷時(shí)的
    那種激情,童年時(shí)的那種誠意;
    我愛你,抵得上往日對(duì)圣者懷有的
    如今似已消逝的那種愛-我用呼吸,
    用微笑,用眼淚,用我整個(gè)生命來愛你!
    -假使上帝愿意,我死后將更加愛你!
