Shakespeare & Me & Aretha (Week 19)

Sonnet 29

Willy `•.

“For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.”

Aretha ¡¡♪

“The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you.”

Me `’.,°~

Morning comes—

mute with love—

my heart
keens—

you.

Song of Solomon 6:3 (KJV)

“I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine.”
