Sonnets of William Shakespeare
Sonnet 18
XVIII.
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,
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 owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

It's very Canticle of Canticles-ish. Or Lamentations-ish.
I'm in agreement with KC HIll. Something to break up the posts about the US Elections and personal angst posts is a welcome change to:

Davids beaten me to it again, so I can only echo his sentiments. No matter, I love the opening line and again that the rough winds do shake the darling buds of May.
A lovely note for me to retire on,
Thankee.
