How do I love you? Let me count the ways.
I love you to the depth and breadth and height to
My soul can reach, when feelong out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love you to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need,by sun and candlelight.
I love you freely, as men strive for light;
I love you purely, as they turn from praise.
I love you with the passion put to use
in my old griefs and with my childhood's faith.
I love you with a love i seened to lose
With my lost saints,
I love you with the breath, smiles, tears of all my life!
I shall but love thee better after death.

我是多么的愛你？讓我細細道來：
我的愛之深之廣之高
超越官能的極限，唯靈魂能探測
存在于理想與天國的盡頭
我愛你，日復(fù)一日
源自生命最基本的渴望
一如陽光，一如燭火
我的愛沒有代價
一如人類對正義的追求
我的愛沒有雜念
一如正義之士不求褒揚
我愛你，帶著昔日的哀痛
伴著古老的憂傷，用我兒時的信仰
我愛你，用我曾經(jīng)擁有過的
現(xiàn)在依然虔誠的，信徒的仰望
用我的呼吸，微笑和眼淚
以及生命中的一切，來愛你
如果上帝愿意
我死后將愛你更深
