HADE OR FADE AFTER ‘Poem of the week: Sonnet 65 by William Shakespeare’

 


SHADE  OR FADE 

AFTER  ‘Poem of the week: Sonnet 65 by William Shakespeare’


LOVE and love’s rays 

Sing a song of radiance 

 with its abiding notes,

in summer’s lasting day,

its rays prevail over young

those in deep love;

no stone, nor weapon, 

nor angered throw 

shall withstand their sway;

their love like tender flower

nothing can suppress,

yet  stubborn sway persists

what can undo the dying ?

  the young don’t believe in time

nor do they rebel, yet a will

carries them ahead, bend them

to annihilation in days 

resistance  and not yield.
