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?-Vedangee
