How Do I Love Thee?歌词

[00:00.000] 作词 : Elizabeth Barrett Browning
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Michael Hoppé
[00:06.48]How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
[00:11.21]I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
[00:15.20]My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
[00:18.18]For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
[00:22.65]I love thee to the level of everyday's
[00:25.04]Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
[00:29.37]I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
[00:34.36]I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
[00:37.85]I love thee with the passion put to use
[00:40.62]In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
[00:45.00]I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
[00:47.52]With my lost saints,--I love thee with the breath,
[00:51.68]Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose,
[00:57.65]I shall but love thee better after death.
