How Do I Love Thee

HOW DO I LOVE THEE?  


How do I love thee?  'Til death us do part
I love thee from the farthest depth of my heart

I love thee as the roses love sunshine
I love thee because God allowed you to be mine

I love thee more now than I did from the first
I love thee so much that my heart may just burst

I love thee like sea shells love the seashore
I love thee now and forevermore

I love thee from the farthest depth of my heart
How do I love thee?  'Til death us do part
