In Stratford’s quiet, humble town,
A bard was born to earn renown.
With quill in hand, the world he’d sway,
Through every verse and every play.

He tread the boards in London’s streets,
Where laughter, love, and sorrow meet.
With words so rich, emotions stirred,
His legacy in verses heard.

From Hamlet’s plight to Lear’s despair,
His characters, beyond compare.
In sonnets sweet, his heart laid bare,
A timeless gift for all to share.

Though centuries have come and gone,
His spirit in each line lives on.
The world, a stage, his life, a play,
Shakespeare’s light, forever, stay.
