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 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.
我怎樣地愛你
作者 / 伊麗莎白芭蕾特布朗寧
我怎樣地愛你？讓我來告訴你
我用我靈魂達到的極限來愛你
就像在黑暗中感受
生命的盡頭和上帝的恩惠
我愛你是每天
日光和燭焰下最基本的需要
我慷慨地愛你，就像人類爲權利而鬥爭
我純潔地愛你，就像人類不爲讚美而陶醉
我愛你，我的深情不再留給往日悲傷
我愛你如童年的信仰
我愛你，就像愛那些天上的聖人
我愛你，用我生命中所有的呼吸、微笑和淚水
如果上帝讓我死去，我會接受
但死後我會更加愛你
