Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day?

I really enjoyed William Shakespeare’s “Shall I Compare Thee to a summer’s Day?” because of the simple, sweet message in it.  Shakespeare tells the subject of the poem that he/she is “more lovely and more temperate” than a summer’s day, and says that he/she will live in his verses long after he/she is dead.  I love that there isn’t some hidden dark or vulgar meaning behind this, like there is in so many of the other poems we have read.  It is a straightforward sonnet about love and I think that’s a nice and refreshing change.
