  Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date; Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st; Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:    So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,    So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Who will believe my verse in time to come, If it were fill'd with your most high deserts? Though yet Heaven knows it is but as a tomb Which hides your life and shows not half your parts. If I could write the beauty of your eyes, And in fresh numbers number all your graces, The age to come would say, 'This poet lies, Such heavenly touches ne'er touch'd earthly faces.' So should my papers yellow'd with their age, Be scorn'd like old men of less truth than tongue, And your true rights be term'd a poet's rage And stretched metre of an antique song:    But were some child of yours alive that time,    You should live twice,-- in it and in my rhyme.  

  To Helen BY  EDGAR ALLAN POE Helen, thy beauty is to me    Like those Nicéan barks of yore, That gently, o'er a perfumed sea,    The weary, way-worn wanderer bore    To his own native shore. On desperate seas long wont to roam,    Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face, Thy Naiad airs have brought me home    To the glory that was Greece,          And the grandeur that was Rome. Lo! in yon brilliant window-niche    How statue-like I see thee stand, The agate lamp within thy hand!    Ah, Psyche, from the regions which    Are Holy-Land!

Funeral Blues Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message 'He is Dead'. Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now; put out every one, Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun, Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood; For nothing now can ever come to any good.

Though  the day of my Destiny's over, ⁠ And the star of my Fate hath declined, [3] Thy soft heart refused to discover ⁠ The faults which so many could find; Though thy Soul with my grief was acquainted, ⁠ It shrunk not to share it with me, And the Love which my Spurit hath painted [4] ⁠ It never hath found but in  Thee . Dichter: Lord Byron - George Gordon "...which speaks to my spirit of thee" - Lord Byron - YouTube
