O me, what eyes hath Love put in my head (Sonnet 148) William Shakespeare (This sonnet is in the public domain.)

O me, what eyes hath Love put in my head,

Which have no correspondence with true sight!

Or, if the have, where is my judgement fled,

That censures falsely what they see aright?

If that be fair whereon my false eyes dote,

What means the world to say it is not so?

If it be not, then love doth well denote

Love’s eye is not so true as all men’s ‘No.’

How can it? O, how can Love’s eye be true,

That is so vex’d with watching and with tears?

No marvel then, though I mistake my view;

The sun itself sees not till heaven clears.

O cunning Love! with tears thou keep’st me blind.

Lest eyes well-seeing thy foul faults should find.

The best match for the line "O cunning Love! with tears thou keep’st me blind" would be:

**The sun hiding behind some clouds.**

This image evokes a sense of obscurity and lack of clarity, similar to how the speaker feels blinded by love and tears. Just as the sun is not fully visible when obscured by clouds, the speaker's ability to see the truth is hindered by their emotional state.
