Forty-four love sonnets by [[VictorianBritain Victorian era]] British poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

The most famous sonnet is undoubtedly number 43 (especially its first line):
->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 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 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.
