03 HOW DO I LOVE THEE? How do I love thee?let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height to My soul can reach,when feeling out of sight For the ends of being and ideal crace. I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need,by sun and candlelight. I love thee freely,as men strive for night; 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 seened 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. 我是如何爱你? 我是如何爱你?让我逐一细述。 我爱你之深邃,之宽广,之高远 尽我的灵魂所能及之处-犹如探求 玄冥中神的存在和美好之极。 我爱你如每日之必需, 阳光下和烛焰前都少不了。 我自由地爱着你,像人们争取他们的权利; 我纯洁地爱着你,如人们在赞美前会垂首。 我爱你,带着我昔日悲伤时的 那种激情,童年时的那种诚意; 我爱你,抵得上往日对圣者怀有的 如今似已消逝的那种爱-我用呼吸, 用微笑,用眼泪,用我整个生命来爱你! -假使上帝愿意,我死后将更加爱你!
