My Mistress’ eyes
My Mistress’ eyes
William Shakespeare
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 upon 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.

that was so sweet i wonder who he wrote that about.
I love this poem because it\’s not typical of love poetry. It\’s truth with fancy words.
um doesnt anyone knoe that hes actually describing a women he loves that is not very attractive at all?
i love this.. kristine
i felt like i read his heart and that love was so deep that i could feel it..
how i wish someone could express his love as shakespeare can.
wonderful goosebumps
Because this is a very good poems which is by:william shakespeare and ofcourse it is not ordinary poems.
D@mn! How unattractive was she?
that was the best love poem ever

Shakespeare will never become outdated … its sad though th@ love isn\’t viewed like this anymore … that it isn\’t genuine despite knowing that your loved one is not perfect, in the sense that they their description adheres to poetic metaphors, but that your love for them is genuine. :zzz
The whole point of this poem points to the extent that a true love doesn\’t have slim waist, rosey cheeks, and look like a super model. Love between two people outweighs normal senses. Kudos to Shakespeare for pointing that out..
it makes me to realize how the poet uses his creativity to compare the lady with nature
:p :eek :cry :upset :zzz :sigh :p 8) 😉 :grin 🙂 :roll 😕
it\’s not that necessarily he is describing an unattractive woman, but he is saying that his woman may not be this, or that, but in his mind she is everything!
totaly alsome! i cryed and cryed. :cry
:cry
i love this :grin sweet :zzz

I wonder if he wrote this with a specific woman in mind, someone he loved with all his heart.
I think he did. I don’t think he was just spewing nonsense to get something to rhyme.
Just something for you guys to ponder!

wow//’just like from the tunnel,goes mad this maiden beauty…who for long has been waitin 4 the sun…this is more than what the un born can imagine.great work
One of the most b’ful poem i have ever read.He loves his beloved for what she was.This poem is a good example of the saying “You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.”
😀 lovely 😆 :love: :kiss: 🙂
