Romantic Love Poems: William Shakespeare

"Discover Creative Ways To Say 'I Love You!'"

No list of romantic love poems would be complete without William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616). This English poet and playwright is widely regarded as the greatest writer of the English language, as well as the world's preeminent dramatist.

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 dimmed;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed;

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.
