Shall I compare thee to a summer\u2019s day?
\nThy art is far more lovely and more sweet.
\nRough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
\nAnd summer’s lease doth bring the summer heat.
\nHowever brightly poet’s pens may rhyme,
\nPerforce they find their inspiration dimmed;
\nFor fairest art unfairly fades with time,
\nBy chance, or culture’s changing course, untrimmed;
\nBut thy eternal genius shall not fade,
\nNor lose possession of that life it brings,
\nNor shall death brag thou wand\u2019rest in his shade,
\nWhen in eternal lines thy wisdom sings.
\n So long as hearts can beat and souls can soar,
\n The Bard of Avon lives forevermore.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
