Yet him for this my love no whit disdaineth;
Suns of the world may stain when heaven’s sun staineth.

One of Shakespeare's most beautiful, complex, and touching poems, with multi-layered references to the Crucifixion, the beauty of nature, the tragic death of his only son, Hamnet, and much more, and one of my favorites.
Even so my sun one early morn did shine
With all-triumphant splendor on my brow;
But, out, Alack! He was but one hour mine
