Shall I Compare Thee to a Summers Day

字號:


     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.
