Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare



Shall I compare thee to a 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.

My favourite poem ever and my favorite poet ever (William Shakespeare).
Here I am to give an honour to him because this poem helped me out to wrote the English essay during SPM exam(2009).
The essay's topic is 'Beauty' if I'm not mistaken.(haiyaa..forgot lor)
And thanks to this poem coz helped me a lot until I got A- in my English subject.
I didn't expect to get even B+ in my English coz I'm not good enough in English.
But thanks to God coz bless my efforts to get at least A- in this subject.
I love English language even I'm not good enough in it.
But.. I love my own language much than it.
That's the reason I applied Bahasa Melayu as my course in IPG.

P/s : This poem is really nice and if you understand the deep meaning of every single words in this poem, you'll know and appreciate the real beauty.

  1. It has been a long time since my secondary old-days. So somehow, I forget when I had learned this poem [whether SPM or PMR], kuang2.. If I'm not mistaken, this poem is talked about a beauty of William's girlfriend, isn't? Haha XD

    It's good enough to get A- for English, I mean, at least it's still A. I only got C6. Very poor, hua3.. X(
