What kind of poem is how do i love thee


Asked by admin @ in English viewed by 284 People


What type of poetry does the example represent? "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." -- "How Do I Love Thee?" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

a.sonnet
b.haiku
c.lyric
d.ode

The answer would be A sonnet that answer even makes the most sense because a haiku is thirteen words long and a lyric is not a 1700's poem and an ode just isn't even close to being it.
