How Do I Love Thee?

By Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

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 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.
我究竟怎样爱你?

伊丽莎白·巴雷特·勃朗宁(飞白 译)

我究竟怎样爱你?让我细数端详。

我爱你直到我灵魂所及的深度、

广度和高度,我在视力不及之处

摸索着存在的极致和美的理想。

我爱你像最朴素的日常需要一样,

就像不自觉地需要阳光和蜡烛。

我自由地爱你,像人们选择正义之路,

我纯洁地爱你,像人们躲避称赞颂扬。

我爱你用的是我在昔日的悲痛里

用过的那种激情,以及童年的忠诚。

我爱你用的爱,我本以为早已失去

(与我失去的圣徒一同)。我爱你用笑容、

眼泪、呼吸和生命;只要上帝允许,

在死后我爱你将只会更加深情。
