How Do I Love Thee? - Michael Hoppe
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
我是多么爱你，让我逐一表白
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
爱之深邃，之宽广，之高远
My soul can reach,
我爱你，尽我心灵所能及
when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being
玄冥中神的存在
and ideal Grace.
和美好之极
I love thee to the level of every day's Most quiet need,
我爱你，那是每日所必需
by sun and candlelight.
在阳光下，在烛光中
I love thee freely,
我自由地爱你
as men strive for Right;
像人们争取他们的权利
I love thee purely,
我单纯地爱你
as they turn from Praise.
如人们在赞美前会垂首
I love with a passion put to use In my old griefs,
我爱你，带着昔日悲伤时的激情
and with my childhood's faith.
以我童年的信仰
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints,
我爱你，抵得上那似乎随着消失的圣者而消逝的爱意
I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears,
用微笑，用眼泪，用我整个生命来爱你
of all my life! and, if God choose,
如果上天注定
I shall but love thee better after death.
我下辈子会更加爱你
