Response to Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Sonnet 43,
Let Me Count The Ways
A hundred years beneath the earth my love,
And still, I love thee with my cold dead soul;
You see, my love the soul is still quite whole,
I love thee, yet you are an angel dove,
Gone, gone, no longer, you reside, above.
I love you forever with no control;
Oh sadness, it is lonely in this hole,
I am he, that you wrote love poems of.
I love thee, for your sweetness always bright.
I love thee, for your beauty and belief,
I love thee, for each beautiful love word,
I love thee, for tears falling each dark night.
Oh my darling, this life on earth is brief.
Are you that song above, that sweet songbird?
