willie dunn - sonnet 33 and 55 / friendship dance lyrics

[sonnet 33]
full many a glorious morning have i seen
flatter the mountain+tops with sovereign eye
kissing with golden face the meadows green
gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy;
anon permit the basest clouds to ride
with ugly rack on his celestial face
and from the forlorn world his visage hide
stealing unseen to west with this disgrace
even so my sun one early morn did shine
with all+triumphant splendour on my brow;
but out, alack! he was but one hour mine;
the region cloud hath mask’d him from me now
yet him for this my love no whit disdaineth;
suns of the world may stain when heaven’s sun staineth

[sonnet 55]
not marble nor the gilded monuments
of princes shall outlive this powerful rhyme
but you shall shine more bright in these contents
than unswept stone besmeared with sl+ttish time
when wasteful war shall statues overturn
and broils root out the work of masonry
nor mars his sword nor war’s quick fire shall burn
the living record of your memory
’gainst death and all+oblivious enmity
shall you pace forth; your praise shall still find room
even in the eyes of all posterity
that wear this world out to the ending doom
so, till the judgement that yourself arise
you live in this, and dwell in lovers’ eyes
