23. Say over again, and yet once over again
•That thou dost love me.
•Though the word repeated
•Should seem "a cuckoo-song," as thou dost treat it,
Remember, never to the hill or plain,
•Valley and wood, without her cuckoo-strain
•Comes the fresh Spring in all her green completed,
Belovèd, I, amid the darkness greeted
•By a doubtful spirit-voice, in that doubt's pain
•Cry, Speak once more--thou lovest! Who can fear
•Too many stars, though each in heaven shall roll,
•Too many flowers, though each shall crown the
year?
•Say thou dost love me, love me, love me--toll
•The silver iterance!--only minding,
24. 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 everyday's
•Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
•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.
