A conventional love poem about the “Dark Lady”

In a conventional love poem the writer would exaggerate how beautiful his mistress is:

by William Shakespeare

What is a sonnet?


A sonnet is a 14 lines love poem

The first 12 lines are 3 quatrains

Groups of 4 lines

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s dayThou art more lovely and more temparate

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of MayAnd summer’s lease hath all too short date

rhyme schemeABAB

With aclosing couplet

So long as men can breathe, or eyes can seeSo long lives this, and this gives life to thee Sums things up


What is he saying?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate

You are lovelier and more temperate (the perfect temperature)

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day

What if I were to compare you to a summer day?


And summer’s lease hath all too short a date

Summertime fades away all too quickly

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May

Summer’s beauty is fragile and can be shaken.Strong winds destroys the delicate flower buds


And often is his gold complexion dimm’d

And often it is too cool, dimmed by clouds and shade

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines

Sometimes the sun is far too hot


By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d

Whether by chance or by the uncontrollable course of nature

And every fair from fair sometimes declines

And everything that is beautiful eventually loses its beauty


Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st

Nor will you lose your beauty

But thy eternal summer shall not fade

But your eternal beauty (or youth) will not fade


When in eternal lines to time thou growest

Since you shall grow with time through this sonnet

Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade

Nor will Death boast that you wander in his shade


So long lives this and this gives life to thee

This sonnet will live on and you (and your beauty) with it

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see

For as long as people can breathe and see
