Shall I compare you to a red rose <br />Or else a charming lily purely white <br />For wherever thy magnetic soul goes <br />My heart follows but with blind delight <br />For many similes mesmerized men did create <br />Thy seraphic beauty with words but to measure <br />For surely into the senseless hearts you did permeate <br />And even to the birds of the air you are a treasure <br />But are you a rose bright and red <br />Whose splendor whose sweetness will fade <br />Or are you that shining star <br />Which in the sky scintillates from afar <br />Truly my love if you are a star <br />Then many would wish astronomers they were<br /><br />Biwot Kevin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-5-with-a-slight-resemblance-to-shakespeare-s-sonnet-18/
