我是怎样地爱你

————作者：勃朗宁夫人（英国）

我是怎样地爱你，诉不尽万语千言

我爱你的程度是那样地高深和广远

恰似我的灵魂曾飞到了九天与黄泉

去探索人生的奥妙和神灵的恩典

无论是白昼还是夜晚，我爱你不息

像我每日必需的食物不能间断

我纯洁地爱你，不为奉承吹捧迷惑

我勇敢地爱你，如同为正义而奋争！

爱你，以昔日的剧痛和童年的忠诚

爱你，以眼泪、笑声及全部的生命

要是没有你，我的心就失去了圣贤

要是没有你，我的心就失去了激情

假如上帝愿意，请为我作主和见证

在我死后，我必将爱你更深，更深！

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
