I love thee to to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.

Her love will be quiet and never ending
Everyday she will meet his every need, day or night

as men strive for right.

I love thee purely, as they turn from praise

She doesn't need rewarded or praised for her love

I love thee with passion put to use
in my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

Her passion is well spent on love

her griefs are from her mother and brother's deaths and she focuses that love for her husband now

Her childhood's faith is her passion and love for her religion she had as a child and it was equal to her love for him now

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose with my lost saints.

She is no longer as passionate about God as she was when she was a child, but all that passion and love is for him now
