Its a sonnet :
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 everyday'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.

Ah, come on! You think we don't recognize Elizabeth Barrett Browning - one of the most famous opening lines in published history? It is assumed to be, and probably was, about her love for her husband, Robert Browning, but could also have been about their son, Pen. Paraphrase? A Victorian love story.

It means that the love is pure-hearted and strong and far reaching. It also revived what was lost when other loved ones died. It also means that death cannot stop it. It can only make it grow.
