Sonnet 018: Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer's Day? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEEEEEFF

Shall I compare thee to a summer's dayA
Thou art more lovely and more temperateB
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of MayA
And summer's lease hath all too short a dateC
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shinesD
And often is his gold complexion dimmedE
And every fair from fair sometime declinesD
By chance or nature's changing course untrimmedE
But thy eternal summer shall not fadeE
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'stE
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shadeE
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'stE
So long as men can breathe or eyes can seeF
So long lives this and this gives life to theeF

William Shakespeare
