Love Poems

Shall I Compare Thee, (Sonnet XVIII)


Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day?
Thou are 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 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.
William Shakespeare

c9Het is mooi geweest op Internet. Ik weet niet wat het DE cafe is, maar aan een _pulibeke_ discussie daar zal ik graag meedoen. Maria heeft mijn e-mail adres.
