In Stratford-upon-Avon, a legend was born,
By the banks of the Avon, where dreams adorn,
A playwright and poet, with quill in hand,
Whose words would echo across the land.

From humble beginnings, he rose to fame,
With tales of love, ambition, and shame,
The Globe Theatre welcomed his prolific art,
Each performance, a masterpiece, from the heart.

His characters, timeless, still walk the stage,
From Hamlet’s sorrow to Prospero’s sage,
In every sonnet, in every rhyme,
Shakespeare’s essence transcends time.

Though centuries have passed since his final bow,
His genius remains, revered till now,
For in his lines, humanity we see,
A mirror to our souls, eternally free.
