How do I love thee/July 24

This poem is written in free verse. The persona stresses the importance of eternal love. This is a love which never ends. The poem is written with a rhyme pattern of spondaic.The persona uses symbolism in the words of height, depth, and breadth. She is stating there is no place in which her love will not be express and grow.
I feel this poem is about love and that is indeed never ends. This love can be seen first in the relationship we have with our new born baby and the again when we meet that person who is to be our mate. This love grows everyday and as we age it becomes tender once again.
