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 dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime
declines,
By
chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose
possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou
wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to
time thou grow'st,
So long as men
can breathe or eyes can see,
So
long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
