我是如何爱你
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 1)Being and 2)ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men 3)strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from 4)Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old 5)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.
我是如何爱你?说不尽万语千言。
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!
