    Shall I Compare Thee to a Summers Day?

    By: William Shakespear


    Theme: Life can be very beautiful and graceful
    Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? a
    Thou art more lovely and more temperate. b
    Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, a
    And summer's lease hath all too short a date. b
    Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, a
    And often is his gold complexion dimmed; b
    And every fair from fair sometime declines, a
    By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimmed; b
    But thy eternal summer shall not fade, a
    Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st, b
    Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade, a
    When in eternal lines to Time thou grow'st. b
    So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, a
    So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. A

    But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
