What Sonnet 29 Means To Nile Hardy

When I am not on the good side of people and fortune

I cry to myself because, I am a social outcast,

I cry to heaven, but no one hears.

And look at myself, and curse my existence,

I wish, I was someone who had more hope,

Wishing I had that man’s skill, and that man’s luck.

But when I think of these thoughts, I begin to hate myself,

I think of you, and then I look at myself and become overjoyed

Like to the lark at break of day arising.

From the darkness of the earth I sing to the heavens,

Thinking of your love brings me sweet happiness,

That then I would change nothing about myself, even to be a king
