Sonnet 73
William Shakespeare
That condemnation of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruined choirs, where late the by and bys birds sang.
In me thou seest the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west;
Which by and by obtuse night doth take away,
Deaths second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou seest the glowing of such fire,
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed, whereon it must expire,
Consumd with that which it was nourishd by.
This thou perceivst, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well, which thou must leave ere long.If you want to get a full essay, order it on our website: Orderessay
