Shakespeare's sonnet 18"To His Love"





SHALL I compare thee to a summer's day?   
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:   
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,   
And summer's lease hath all too short a date;   
   
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,          
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;   
And every fair from fair sometime declines,   
By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimm'd.   
   
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,   
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;   
Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade,   
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:—   
   
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,   
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
