HOW DO I LOVE THEE?
How do I love thee?let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height to
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 seened 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.
我是如何爱你?
我是如何爱你?让我逐一细述。
我爱你之深邃,之宽广,之高远
尽我的灵魂所能及之处-犹如探求
玄冥中神的存在和美好之极。
我爱你如每日之必需,
阳光下和烛焰前都少不了。
我自由地爱着你,像人们争取他们的权利;
我纯洁地爱着你,如人们在赞美前会垂首。
我爱你,带着我昔日悲伤时的
那种激情,童年时的那种诚意;
我爱你,抵得上往日对圣者怀有的
如今似已消逝的那种爱-我用呼吸,
用微笑,用眼泪,用我整个生命来爱你!
-假使上帝愿意,我死后将更加爱你!
