What's the name of this Shakespeare sonnet? Part of it says "How do I love thee? Let me count thy ways...". I'd like to know how it goes and maybe where I can find it.

  1. It's actually not by shakespeare it's by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

    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 candle-light.

    I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;

    I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

    I love thee with a 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.

    by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861
