Brightly
By jack paper
When has such beauty come down from on high
Or been a match for natures finest things?
This one could live aloft on painted skies
And there compare with those that God gave wings.
All other beauty fades within my sight
When I behold this vision I adore.
If I could spend a day or just one night,
I would give all I ever earned and more,
To raptly sit and gaze upon her grace.
Yes, in this task I would be quite content.
There at her feet I'd firmly claim my place.
For baser needs I never would relent,
From singing praises of this lovely one,
Who's beauty shines more brightly than the sun.

This is the only Shakespearian sonnet I've seen on this site, other than my own. This was good, they're tricky things, but this was good, you know your stuff.
