 Sonnet 18( 1st year sec. – 1st term)

BY \ William Shakespeare
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 wander'st in his shade

When in eternal lines to time thou growest:

So long as men can breath , or eyes can see,

So long lives this and this gives life to thee
