Ariel's
Songs
by William
Shakespeare
|
| (i) |
| Come unto these yellow sands, |
| And then take hands: |
| Curtsied when you have, and
kissed |
| The wild waves
whist, |
| Foot it featly here and there; |
| And, sweet sprites, the burden
bear. |
| Hark, hark! |
|
Bow, wow |
| The watch-dogs bark, |
|
Bow, wow, |
| Hark, hark! I hear |
| The strain of strutting
Chanticleer |
Cry, Cock-a-diddle-dow.
|
| (ii) |
| Full fathom five thy father lies; |
| Of his bones are
coral made; |
| Those are pearls that were his
eyes: |
| Nothing of him that
doth fade, |
| But doth suffer a sea-change |
| Into something rich and strange: |
| Sea nymphs hourly ring his knell. |
|
Ding-dong! |
| Hark! now I hear
them, |
Ding-dong, bell!
|
| (iii) |
| Where the bee sucks, there suck
I, |
| In a cowslip's bell I lie, |
| There I couch when owls do cry, |
| On the bat's back I do fly |
| After summer merrily. |
| Merrily, merrily,
shall I live now |
Under the blossom
that hangs on the bough.
|
