Should I compare you to a winter’s day?
You’re more repulsive and harsh:
Gentle winds caress bodies as they decay
And winter permeates the thick marsh:
Sometimes, winter’s too cold to bear
And often, it’s not cold enough,
For even dreadful days despair
’Cause Mother Nature isn’t that tough -
But your eternal malevolence will never fade
Nor will the misfortune you bring upon the world
Not even Death wants you in his shade
You make his toes curl.
So long as summer fades and winter draws near
We’ll live in agony with nothing to fear
