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 wander'st 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.
