Love poetry in Shakespeare

Shall I keep you in the memory of summer days

You were so lovely and so alive

As butterflies within blooming flowers of  May

And summer on its promise to arrive

With the sun to have Heaven in its shine

Nature under its cover of golden light

Sunny days were to stay without decline

And all’re glowing in the dream of summer nights

Such a wonder! Cherish’d moments of our life

You’re fairy tales of love and peace

Would let me forget the rolling flow of time

Taking the world adrift into shadows of Death

But keep you forever in the depth of my heart

With your beauty, once a summer to endear

Following the Shakespeare’s sonnet, of which are these first two lines:

Shall I compare thee to a Summer day?

Thou are more lovely and more temperate

The Sonnets of William Shakespeare

Mỗi một bài thơ tình là một lời tình tự

Tình tự

Nhớ em nhớ những ngày hè

Nắng reo mái tóc mây em rộn ràng

Yêu em có những đêm trăng

Mặt hồ lấp lánh sóng vàng gợn xa

Cùng em chia một giấc mơ

Tháng ngày trôi chảy mãi còn có nhau
