我是如何愛你 ?
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.
我是如何愛你?說不盡萬語千言。
我愛你之深邃,之寬廣,之高遠
盡我的霛魂所能及之処——猶如探求
玄冥中神的存在和美好之極。
我愛你如每日之必需,
陽光下和燭焰前都少不了。
我自由地愛著你,像人們爭取他們的權利;
我純潔地愛著你,如人們在贊美前會垂首。
我愛你,帶著我昔日悲傷時的
那種激情,童年時的那種誠意;
我愛你,觝得上往日對聖者懷有的
如今似已消逝的那種愛-我用呼吸,
用微笑,用眼淚,用我整個生命來愛你!
——假使上帝願意,我死後將更加愛你!
