Sonnet 18
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.

I have researched the meaning and read the analysis and translation of the sonnet, which looked like this.
The general meaning is that Shakespeare is admiring a woman, and saying that her beauty will never fade. He compares her so a summers day and saying that she is much more beautiful.
I also researched the mood and tone of the sonnet so that it woud help me when i start composing fot it.
