I LOVE THEE IN ALL WAYS.

I love thee in all ways, in all degrees,
My Soul dost thou so wildly, wholly seize!
I love thee in each measure, in each kind,
With soul, and life, and strength, and heart, and mind!

All earthly feelings, Love, for thee I feel,
Quick Adoration's fire—Devotion's zeal;
The melting warmth of softest tenderness,
And wild keen Passion's uncontrolled excess!

Bright Friendship's steady and untroubled flow,
And deep-sown Sympathy's mysterious glow;
And yet a Love, far, far beyond all these—
I love thee past all measures and degrees!
