Shall I compare thee to a dark winter night? <br />Thou art more complex and more constant: <br />Rough winds do shake the circular and beaming moon, <br />And winter’s lease hath all too long a date: <br />Sometimes the cold is bearable to the frame, <br />And often is her white complexion dimmed; <br />And those that lost their complexion will regain it, <br />By chance or nature’s changing course clutters; <br />But thy eternal winter shall not fade <br />Nor lose possession of thy winter allure; <br />Nor shall death gloat about thou, <br />When in eternal metres thou will grow: <br />So long as we can breath or eyes can see, <br />So long this and this gives life to thee.<br /><br />Jeffrey Liminsang<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shall-i-compare-thee-to-a-dark-winter-night/
