Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Or rather a winters noon As you left no sunshine to stay You just wore me out with gloom and doom
I was the summer’s breeze And you were the winter’s chills With sun beams through clouds did you tease And I will admit your storms gave me thrills
You wore me down like rotting wood Fighting against the dampening rain The winter’s blizzard was all I had withstood But then came the splintering pain
I crumbled at your tempest Snapped to pieces at your will You had me at my barest And like the season you left still
You marked me with your hurricane You tore at me with your hailstorm As only my dampened dust remain As my structure lay torn
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Or rather a winters noon, From all you destroyed you walked away But with the rain something new may bloom.
