"Sonnet 18" by Shakespeare is a poem about a beautiful woman with whom the speaker seems to be in love. The speaker tells her that her existence and her beauty will always be remembered, that they will never fade.
What the speaker means is that, as long as that poem exists and people read it, they will remember that woman's life and beauty. She is being immortalized in the poem.
Thus, when the speaker says in the final line, "So long lives this and this gives life to thee," the word "this" means the poem, the art that will keep her memory alive.
