A Beautiful Poem And A Beautiful Picture From Our Photograph Album

Picture 073
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? 
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Picture 074  
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, 
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Picture 075
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, 
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd.
Shakespeare was quite good at doing poetry really wasn’t he?

I think the bard would have passed his GCSE English Language exam, even if the modern day examiner would mark him down for spelling of dimm'd.
