THE BOSS

der boss meines lebens
hat ganz lässig allem sinn gegeben.


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 every day'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.
