I wonder if your loveliness will change
With passing years, and if it does, whether
It will in time make your appearance strange
Or if, with eyes and facing aging together,
You will be, as I think you will, as sweet
As you are now; indeed I might protest
I think you will be more, because the best
Of beauty and maturity will meet
Within you, and therefore improve what seemed
Before you ripened, already ideal
Beyond the ultimate I could have dreamed
And all of it both beautiful and real;
For in all honesty, if I see you
No matter what, I see a lovely view.
