How Do I Love Thee?

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 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.

我怎樣地愛你

作者 / 伊麗莎白芭蕾特布朗寧

我怎樣地愛你？讓我來告訴你

我用我靈魂達到的極限來愛你

就像在黑暗中感受

生命的盡頭和上帝的恩惠

我愛你是每天

日光和燭焰下最基本的需要

我慷慨地愛你，就像人類為權利而斗爭

我純潔地愛你，就像人類不為贊美而陶醉

我愛你，我的深情不再留給往日悲傷

我愛你如童年的信仰

我愛你，就像愛那些天上的圣人

我愛你，用我生命中所有的呼吸、微笑和淚水

如果上帝讓我死去，我會接受

但死后我會更加愛你
