William Shakespeare
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
2
Thou art1 more lovely and more temperate.2
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
4
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
6
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
8
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
10
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
12
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
14
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
