我是如何爱你？

　　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 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

　　我是如何爱你？

　　我是如何爱你？说不尽万语千言。

　　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！
