"Your youthful beauty will not disappear."

Explanation: "Thy" = "your," "eternal summer" is a metaphor for the beloved's youthful beauty, and "shall not fade" means it will not diminish. The other choices are either literal (a season lasting forever) or misread (the person never dying or the speaker's love for a season).
