Shakespeare Sonnet 18

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 breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

In this sonnet, Shakespeare compares the beloved to the summer. Shakespeare praises the beauty of the beloved which has already surpassed the summer. Summer is sometimes too hot, and it is short. However, the light of the Sun sometimes can be blocked up by the clouds. The beauty of the beloved can only day fade away because of the time. Even the death cannot own your beauty. The beloved's beauty and love becomes eternal due to this poem. The poem can last longer time then human life. The poem will record the beloved's beauty to the future.
