The Sonnets Xviii - 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 day | A |
| Thou art more lovely and more temperate | B |
| Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May | A |
| And summer's lease hath all too short a date | C |
| Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines | D |
| And often is his gold complexion dimm'd | E |
| And every fair from fair sometime declines | D |
| By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd | E |
| But thy eternal summer shall not fade | E |
| Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st | E |
| Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade | E |
| When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st | E |
| So long as men can breathe or eyes can see | F |
| So long lives this and this gives life to thee | F |
William Shakespeare
