A.How Do I Love Thee? 

Elizabeth Barrett Browning, 1806 - 1861  

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. 

B.“The Lamb” 

William Blake  

Little Lamb who made thee  

Dost thou know who made thee  

Gave thee life & bid thee feed.  

By the stream & o'er the mead;  

Gave thee clothing of delight,  

Softest clothing wooly bright;  

Gave thee such a tender voice,  

Making all the vales rejoice!  

        Little Lamb who made thee  

Dost thou know who made thee  

        Little Lamb I'll tell thee,  

        Little Lamb I'll tell thee! 

He is called by thy name,  

For he calls himself a Lamb:  

He is meek & he is mild,  

He became a little child:  

I a child & thou a lamb,  

We are called by his name.  

        Little Lamb God bless thee.  

        Little Lamb God bless thee.
