  3. Sonnet 43 • 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 everyday’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 the love I seemed to lose • With my lost Saints, - I love thee with the breath, • Smiles, ears, of all my life! – and, if God choose, • I shall but love thee better after death.
