How do I love thee（我是怎样的爱你）

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways我是怎樣地愛你？讓我逐一細算

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height我愛你盡我的心靈所能及到的

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight深邃、寬廣、和高度——正象我探求

For the ends of being and ideal grace玄冥中上帝的存在和深厚的神恩

I love thee to the level of every day‘s我愛你的程度，就象日光和燭焰下

Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light那每天不用說得的需要。我不加思慮地

I love thee freely, as men strive for right愛你，就象男子們爲正義而鬥争

I love thee purely, as they turn from praise我純潔地愛你，象他們在贊美前低頭

I love thee with the passion put to use以滿懷熱情，就象往日滿腔的辛酸

In my old griefs, and with my childhood‘s faith我愛你以我童年的信仰；我愛你

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose我愛你，抵得上那似乎随着消失的聖者

With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath而消逝的愛慕。我愛你以我終生的

Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose呼吸，微笑和淚珠——假使是上帝的

I shall but love thee better after death意旨，那麽，我死了我還要更加愛你
