2. How Do I Love Thee? Elizabeth Barrett Browning How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of every day'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.

4. Because I could not stop for death Emily Dickinson Because I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves And Immortality. We slowly drove, he knew no haste, And I had put away My labour, and my leisure too, For his civility. We passed the school where children played, Their lessons scarcely done; We passed the fields of gazing grain, We passed the setting sun. We paused before a house that seemed A swelling of the ground; The roof was scarcely visible, The cornice but a mound. Since then 'tis centuries; but each Feels shorter than the day I first surmised the horses' heads Were toward eternity.
5. A Rational And An Emotional woman Pamela Jullier I am both a rational and an emotional woman. I wonder if I'm taking the right path. I hear the acrid smell of my soul. I see the gruff voice of my mind. I want to be an educator. I am both a rational and an emotional woman. I pretend to be strong I feel the tense whispers of my thoughts. I touch the sadness of my tears. I worry that some day there'll be no love. I cry when I feel oddly lonely. I am both a rational and an emotional woman. I understand that the world won't be as I' ve always imagined. I dream about blissful smiles on human faces. I hope to teach and learn forever. I am both a rational and an emotional woman .
