This is my reading of the witty yet sincere Sonnet 130 by William Shakespeare. Stay tuned for more great poetic content!
Words:
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.

Brilliant, and soft soothing low volume music compliments your presentation, tks Ben.

Glad you think so Vandana, thank you.

This is a good idea to end the video with music and not use it throughout the video.
Really well done!

Thanks Laoshu! I think it depends on the poem in terms of when or even if to include music but in this case, I agree it works best at the end :)
