23/44

Say over again, and yet once over againThat thou dost love me.

Though the word repeated

Should seem "a cuckoo-song," as thou dost treat it,Remember, never to the hill or plain,

Valley and wood, without her cuckoo-strain

Comes the fresh Spring in all her green completed,

Belovd, I, amid the darkness greeted

By a doubtful spirit-voice, in that doubt's pain

Cry, Speak once more--thou lovest!Who can fear

Too many stars, though each in heaven shall roll,Too many flowers, though each shall crown the

year?

Say thou dost love me, love me, love me--toll

The silver iterance!--only minding,

H d I l h ?


24/44

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 sightFor 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 the 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.

Elizabeth Barrett

New Cross, Hatcham,Surrey

I love your verses with all my heart, dear Miss

Barrett, -- and this is no off-hand complimentary

letter that I shall write, --whatever else, no prompt

matter-of-course recognition of your genius and

there a graceful and natural end of the thing: since

the day last week when I first read your poems, Iquite laugh to remember how I have been turning

again in my mind what I should be able to tell you of

their effect upon me
