Read this poem:

Who will believe my verse in time to come,

If it were fill'd with your most high deserts?

Though yet, heaven knows, it is but as a tomb

Which hides your life and shows not half your parts.

If I could write the beauty of your eyes

And in fresh numbers number all your graces,

The age to come would say 'This poet lies;

Such heavenly touches ne'er touch'd earthly faces.

So should my papers yellow'd with their age

Be scorn'd like old men of less truth than tongue,

And your true rights be term'd a poet's rage

And stretched metre of an antique song:

But were some child of yours alive that time,

You should live twice; in it and in my rhyme.

What type of poem is this?

• Ode

• Sestina

• Sonnet

• Haiku

How many stanzas does this poem have?

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 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.

Read the first two stanzas of this poem:

To shortened days and circle wide of shade

I have now come, alas! and snow-clad hills,

When all bright hues grow pale upon the grass;

Yet my desire hath not yet lost its green,

And so is rooted in the flinty rock,

Which speaks and hears, as though it were a lady.

So in like manner doth this fair young lady

Stand frozen, as the snow stands in the shade,

For she no more is moved than is the rock,

When the sweet season comes which warms the hills,

And makes them change from white to pleasant green,

Because it clothes them all with flowers and grass.
