Fairy Land I Poem by William Shakespeare
Fairy Land I
OVER hill, over dale,
Thorough bush, thorough brier,
Over park, over pale,
Thorough flood, thorough fire,
I do wander everywhere,
Swifter than the moone's sphere;
And I serve the fairy queen,
To dew her orbs upon the green:
The cowslips tall her pensioners be;
In their gold coats spots you see;
Those be rubies, fairy favours,
In those freckles live their savours:
I must go seek some dew-drops here,
And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear.
i think this poem is amazing and i will put it on my favorites list.
Amusing song like poem...last two lines are lovely- 10
Oops, here's the note I meant to add: The word 'thorough' is, in today's parlance, 'through'. And lady moon not only had an 'e' on the end, but it was expected that the schwa-like 'e' would be pronounced. In modern productions or recitations, the word is rendered 'moon's', as you might expect.
I always love reading Shakespeare and find inspiration there! In case anyone is interested, I found this note:
and afterwards back to Londone again to earn for 30 days more and so on.
