A Fairy Song
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.
– William Shakespeare
Love the poem, love the icon too.
I serve the Fairy Queen; a lovely concept.

It’s a great opportunity to visit some old icons AND discover new/old poems! :-B
Oh, this is one of my favourite Shakespearean passages!
Oh, that’s actually one of my favourite Shakespearen passages!
I’m glad you like it! 😀
