Analysis of Shall I compare love to a winter night



I hear them playing in the snow
Jubilating and triumphing
Like the winner of a lotto
I was tempted to participate
So I took my cardigan and wear my sheos
It was cozy and loving outside
I wished for  forever to be like this
But sudden it becomes freezing
And I could  not stand the cold anymore
So I went back to my room
To have a hot coffee
And enjoy the night at my peace
