The best paraphrase of line 12 is "like everyone,she walks on the ground"

Throughout the sonnet the speaker is portraying his beloved as someone ordinary. He highlights the common characteristics and beauty of his lover using the conventional comparisons of the Shakespeare's days  for love poetry but in a negative way.

The love poetry of the those days was mainly based on metaphors comparing nature with the beauty of the loved women. In this sonnet Shakespeare reversed those conventions.

In line 12 and in the previous one the speaker states that he has never seen a goddess walking but he's sure that her mistress walks like everyone else.

How does the shift in structure from an autobiographical tale to a “bedtime story” affect the reader?
Bezzdna [24]
The shift in structure from an autobiographical tale to a "bedtime story" or a "fairy tale" increases the personal interest of the reader into the story itself.
The reader starts meeting a family that could be his/hers. The family starts facing some problems or a horrific nightmare. The fairy tale, then, allows the reader to go beyond the borders of the story itself and start picturing himself/herself in the action.
The reader then starts to this how he/she might act? How can the family be protected?....and so on.

ElenaW [278]
The answer is materialism. This is evident as the narrator wishes to go to a remote cabin in the woods and essentially live off the land while depriving himself of human contact and engaging with nature. No mention of religion is made in the passage, nor is there any concepts of turmoil that the narrator makes note of. Instead, he talks of his willingness to move to Innisfree, to live in a cabin simply, as he views it as his purpose.
