Shall I Compare Thee To a Winter's Night
Shall I compare thee to a winter's night
My heart's safe harbour, my warm igloo
My compass, my pathway through formless white
My constant companion, my North Star true.
As we shelter close in winter darkness
Though we shiver in February's cold
Our ardour tempers this Arctic fortress
And vouchsafes our union as we grow old.
But thy eternal winter shall not fade
Though evil gasses may force climate change
We will cover the planet in SO2 shade
To thus maintain the Earth's temperate range
So toast with sweet wine our lady luck's kiss
And jointly join in this Valentine's tryst.
