Sonnets 18
William Shakespeare
Can I compare you to a summer day?
You are cuter and gentler;
The wind shook the lovely buds of May,
The lease in summer is too short;
Sometimes the eye of heaven shines too hot,
His golden complexion often darkens,
Every market sometimes declines,
Accidental or natural changes without pruning:
But your eternal summer will not die,
Or lose the beauty you know,
Death will not boast that you want to rest in his shade,
When you grow up in eternal lines of poetry,
As long as human beings can breathe and see,
This is eternal, which gives you life.

Can I compare you to summer?
You are more beautiful and gentle than summer.
The strong wind in May withered the buds,
How short summer is.
Don't fall in love with that beautiful day,
There will be fog in the blink of an eye.
Don't sigh, flowers bloom and fall,
Break through in a hurry in an impermanent fate.
Only your eternal summer is new every day,
Your beauty is intact.
Death has no chance to imprison you,
You will live forever in my eternal poem.
As long as someone recites my poem,
This poem will be immortal and keep your beauty forever.
