Opening - How Do I Love Thee

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

[Intro]
Love, love
How do we speak of love?
How do we speak of passionate affection?
How do we speak of a deep, and enduring emotional devotion?
How do we voice our reverend attachment to those whom we adore?
Sit back, relax, and close your eyes
Together we will explore the beauty and enchantment of love, the glorious poetry of love, the bittersweetness of love
Shall we begin with Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s, How Do I Love Thee?

[Verse 1]
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 to every day’s most quiet need, by sun and candlelight
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 childhoods faith
I love thee with a love I seem to lose with my lost saints
I love thee with the breath, smiles and tears of all my life
And, if god choose, I shall but love thee better after death
