How do I love thee

I got this beautiful poem off the ERL. It was written by someone, I can't remember who. I just wanna share it with you. Hope by publishing it here, I won't get into any trouble for not putting the original author's name to it. If you know who wrote this, please enlighten me. I'll give him/her due credit.

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 does of Being and ideal Grace
I love thee to the level of everyday's
most quiet need, by sun and candlelight
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 the love I seem to lose
With my lost saints - I love thee with the breadth
Smiles, tears, of all my life - and if God choose
I shall but love thee better after death

I was so moved by it that I text it down in my handphone. Hence, now sharing it. I dedicated this to my love. She said she liked it. Dunno whether she still keeps it with her. Hmm...
