| If thou must love me, let it be for nought except for love's sake only. Donot say," I love her for her smile, her look, her way of speaking gently, For a trick of thought that falls in well with mine, And brings a sense of pleasant ease on such a day." For these things in themselves, Beloved, may be changed, Or changed for thee and love, so wrought may be unwrought so. Neither love me for thine own dear pity's wiping my cheeks dry, A creature might forget to weep who bore thy comfort long And lose thy love thereby! But love me for love's sake, that evermore Thou may love on, through love's eternity. ~Elizabeth Barrett Browning~ |

| 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 greifs ,and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with love I seem to lose With my lost saints,I love thee with the breadth, Smile, tears, of all my life! -and if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death. ~Elizabeth Barrett Browning~ |
