SONNET 130 Song is a musical setting of Shakespeare's My MISTRESS’ EYES are nothing like the sun sonnet poem. Sonnet 130 MY MISTRESS’ EYES are nothing like the sun text words lyrics mocks the conventions of the flowery sonnets in its more realistic description of his mistress.
MY MISTRESS’ EYES are nothing like the sun
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.
