莎士比亚的十八首诗中,较为著名的包括以下几首:
Sonnet 18
"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 owest;"
"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."
Sonnet 29
Sonnet 73
Sonnet 116
When in Disgrace with Fortune and Men's Eyes
Full Many a Glorious Morning Have I Seen
My Mistress' Eyes are Nothing Like the Sun
Sonnet 130
Let Me Not to the Marriage of True Minds
When to the Sessions of Sweet Silent Thought
That Time of Year Thou Mayst in Me Behold
No Longer Mourn for Me When I Am Dead
Not Marble nor the Gilded Monuments
O Mistress Mine, Where Are You Roaming?
Fear No More the Heat o' the Sun
Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind
Under the Greenwood Tree
这些诗歌展示了莎士比亚在诗歌创作上的多样性和深刻性,尤其是他的十四行诗,以其严谨的结构和丰富的情感表达而闻名。
