Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Though 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 dimmed

And every fair from fair sometime declines

By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed

Like a beautiful smile

That fills up the sky

And I think I know why

Such a beauty won't die

It's eternity's mile

That we walk all this while

But thy eternal summer shall not fade

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st

Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade

When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st;

Like a beautiful smile

That fills up the sky

And I think I know why

Such a beauty won't die

It's eternity's mile

That we walk all this while

Like a beautiful dream

That is just what it seems

We're just floating upstream

On eternity's beam

So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see

So long lives this and this gives life to thee

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 dimmed;

And every fair from fair sometime declines

By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st

Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade

When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st;

So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee
