Sonnet 29 Lyrics - Take All My Loves: Nine Shakespeare Sonnets - Rufus Wainwright

A woman's face with nature's own hand painted 

Hast thou the master mistress of my passion 

A woman's gentle heart but not acquainted 

With shifting change as is false women's fashion 

An eye more bright than theirs less false in rolling 

Gilding the object whereupon it gazeth 

A man in hue all hues in his controlling 

Which steals men's eyes and women's souls amazeth 

And for a woman wert thou first created 

Till nature as she wrought thee fell a-doting 

And by addition me of thee defeated 

By adding one thing to my purpose nothing
