The greeting card lyrics “Why Do I Love You So Much?” and the Browning sonnet “How Do I Love Thee?” both talk about love, but they do it in different ways. The Browning sonnet sounds like a formal love letter with big words. On the other hand, the greeting card lyrics are like a simple message of love. They use plain, everyday language. The Browning sonnet “How Do I Love Thee?” uses a kind of musical and structured pattern in how the words sound.\u00a0 For example, it says, “I love thee to the depth and breadth and height.” The words at the end of each line, like “height” and “sight,” have similar sounds. And, greeting card lyrics that say “Why Do I Love You So Much?” might not follow this structured pattern. They may or may not sound like a song or poem. It’s like a simple and heartfelt message.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
