How Do I Love Thee? (口白) - Michael Hoppé/Michael York

Composed by：Michael Hoppé

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
