SHALL I compare thee to a Summer's day? <br />Thou art more lovely and more temperate: <br />Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, <br />And Summer's lease hath all too short a date: <br />Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, <br />And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; <br />And every fair from fair sometime declines, <br />By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd: <br />But thy eternal Summer shall not fade <br />Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; <br />Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade, <br />When in eternal lines to time thou growest: <br /> So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, <br /> So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.<br /><br />William Shakespeare<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnets-i/
