Thou art more lovely and more temperate Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May And summers 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 natures changing course untrimmed But thy eternal summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou owst Nor shall death brag thou wanderst in his shade When in eternal lines to time thou growst So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
