Poetry Friday :: Shakespeare

Joining in with an addition to Poetry Friday this week over at Check it Out!

Shakespeare's Fairy poems just seem synonymous with summer and my children have certainly been "over hill, over dale, thorough bush, thorough brier" lately, enjoy!

A Fairy Song by William Shakespeare

Over hill, over dale,
Thorough bush, thorough brier,
Over park, over pale,
Thorough flood, thorough fire!
I do wander everywhere,
Swifter than the moon'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 dewdrops here,
And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear.
