Answer:
Here,
the poet addresses his friend or beloved. He assures her that she would survive
in his poem after her death. He describes that neither marble nor the gold plated
monuments of princes shall survive more than his strong short poem. He further
says that the name of his beloved will shine more bright in these verses than
on dust covered gravestones ravaged by time.
He shows his faith in his verse and expresses that marble monuments and
gilded monuments of princes cannot provide the poet's friend the immortality
that the poet's verses can. He tells his beloved that his poetry
has the power to withstand time's destruction and to confer
immortality.
The poet knows that time would root out everything completely.
But her sweet memories would keep on living forever in the hearts of future
generations because she lies immortalized in his poem.
