Shall I | compare | thee to | a sum|mer's day?

Thou art | more love/ly and | more temp/erate:

Sometime too | hot the | eye of heaven shines,

And of|ten is | his gold | complex|ion dimmed,

And eve|ry fair | from* fair | sometime
declines,

By chance,| or na|ture's chang|ing course |
untrimmed:

But thy | etern|al summer | shall not fade,

Nor lose | possess|ion of | that fair | thou owst,

Nor* shall | death brag thou | wanderst | in his
shade,

So long lives this,| and this gives life | to
thee.
