2. Paste the lyrics of your new poem below:
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. A
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height B
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight B
For the ends of being and ideal grace. A
I love thee to the level of every days
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. C
I love thee freely, as men strive for right. C
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 childhoods faith. D
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose E
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath, D
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose, E
I shall but love thee better after death.
