Can I compare you to a summer day?
Can I compare you to summer? ?
You are cuter and gentler;
You are more beautiful and gentle than summer.
The wind shook the lovely buds of May,
The strong wind in May withered the buds,
The lease in summer is too short;
How short summer is.
Sometimes the eye of heaven shines too hot,
Don't fall in love with that beautiful day,
His golden complexion often darkens;
There will be fog in the blink of an eye.
Every market sometimes declines,
Don't sigh, flowers bloom and fall,
A process of accidental or natural change.
Break through in a hurry in an impermanent fate.
But your eternal summer will not fade
Only your eternal summer is new every day,
Nor will you lose the beauty you have;
Your beauty is intact. ?
Death will not boast that you wander in his shadow,
Death has no chance to imprison you,
When you grow up in eternal time:
You will live forever in my eternal poem.
As long as human beings can breathe and see,
As long as someone recites my poem,
This is eternal, which gives you life.
This poem will be immortal and keep your beauty forever.
This poem uses the intention of summer to expand imagination. Summer is always full of vitality, just like the poet's friend in his youth. As a beautiful existence, "you" is far more attractive than summer; Although every beauty will be fleeting, the beauty of "you" will last forever.
