Sonnet 18 - Fabio Cinti
Lyrics by:David Gilmour
Composed by:David Gilmour
Shall I compare thee
To the summer's day
Thou art 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
