"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 ow’st;  
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,  
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:  
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,  
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee."

"Throughout the afternoon I watched them there,  
Snow-fairies falling, falling from the sky,  
Whirling fantastic in the misty air,  
Contending fierce for space supremacy.  
And they flew down a mightier force at night,  
As though in heaven there was revolt and riot,  
And they, frail things had taken panic flight  
Down to the calm earth seeking peace and quiet.  
I went to bed and rose at early dawn  
To see them huddled together in a heap,  
Each merged into the other upon the lawn,  
Worn out by the sharp struggle, fast asleep.  
The sun shone brightly on them half the day,  
By night they stealthily had stol’n away.  
  
And suddenly my thoughts then turned to you  
Who came to me upon a winter’s night,  
When snow-sprites round my attic window flew,  
Your hair disheveled, eyes aglow with light.  
My heart was like the weather when you came,  
The wanton winds were blowing loud and long;  
But you, with joy and passion all aflame,  
You danced and sang a lilting summer song.  
I made room for you in my little bed,  
Took covers from the closet fresh and warm,  
A downful pillow for your scented head,  
And lay down with you resting in my arm.  
You went with Dawn. You left me ere the day,  
The lonely actor of a dreamy play."

"No, Time, thou shalt not boast that I do change:  
Thy pyramids built up with newer might  
To me are nothing novel, nothing strange;  
They are but dressings of a former sight.  
Our dates are brief, and therefore we admire  
What thou dost foist upon us that is old,  
And rather make them born to our desire  
Than think that we before have heard them told.  
Thy registers and thee I both defy,  
Not wondering at the present nor the past;  
For thy records and what we see doth lie,  
Made more or less by that continual haste.  
This I do vow, and this shall ever be:  
I will be true, despite thy scythe and thee."

You got "No, Time, thou shalt not boast that I do change" by Shakespeare!

"O! my heart now feels so cheerful as I go with footsteps light  
      In the daily toil of my dear home;   
And I’ll tell to you the secret that now makes my life so bright—  
      There’s a flower at my window in full bloom.   
It is radiant in the sunshine, and so cheerful after rain;   
        And it wafts upon the air its sweet perfume.   
It is very, very lovely! May its beauties never wane—  
        This dear flower at my window in full bloom.   
Nature has so clothed it in such glorious array,   
      And it does so cheer our home, and hearts illume;   
Its dear mem’ry I will cherish though the flower fade away—  
      This dear flower at my window in full bloom.   
Oft I gaze upon this flower with its blossoms pure and white.   
        And I think as I behold its gay costume,   
While through life we all are passing may our lives be always bright   
        Like this flower at my window in full bloom."
