Sonnet 43 lyrics
When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see
For all the day they view things unrespected
But when I sleep in dreams they look on thee
And darkly bright are bright in dark directed
Then thou whose shadow shadows doth make bright
How would thy shadow's form form happy show
To the clear day with thy much clearer light?
When to unseeing eyes thy shade shines so
How would I say mine eyes be blessed made
By looking on thee in the living day?
When in dead night thy fair imperfect shade
Through heavy sleep on sightless eyes doth stay
All days are nights to see 'til I see thee
And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me
Part of these releases
