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 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 childhood's faith.
Ilove 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.

The authors name should be on the same page that you copied it from. The reason that I say that is there is no way you could have remembered all of it without knowing who wrote it.
