In Stratford where the Avon flows,
A child of wonder, a playwright arose.
With quill in hand, he shaped the stage,
A timeless bard, wise beyond age.

The Globe did echo with tales profound,
Of star-crossed lovers and jesters crowned.
Each verse a window to souls unseen,
In worlds of kings and forest green.

Through tempest wild and summer’s night,
His words ignited the hearts alight.
Tragedy and comedy, hand in hand,
In every line, a world so grand.

Yet in the shadows of time’s embrace,
His legacy endures, a timeless trace.
In every sonnet and whispered rhyme,
Shakespeare lives, defying time.
