Shall I compare thee to the first rain?
or the scent it leaves on earth undone?
Shall I compare thee to a lily in full bloom?
or the wonder it brings too soon?
Shall I compare thee to the warm sun?
or the life it gives to my loved ones?
Shall I compare thee to a raging storm?
or the strength it whispers slowly of?
Shall I compare thee to a deep abyss?
or the obscure hopes it promises?
Shall I compare thee to the dark night?
or the stars it bears fiery and bright?
Shall I compare thee to poetry?
or the love it sings of so dearly?
