In Stratford-upon-Avon, where dreams took flight,
A playwright was born under the star’s gentle light.
William Shakespeare, with words so profound,
In theaters and hearts, his legacy is found.

From the Globe’s grand stage to royal courts,
His tales of love and woe brought endless retorts.
Kings, queens, jesters, and lovers so dear,
Through his timeless scripts, they all appear.

Sonnets of beauty, comedies of mirth,
Tragedies that plumb the depths of human worth.
His quill, a sword, in the battle of art,
Carving stories that pierce the heart.

Though centuries have passed since his final bow,
The Bard’s eloquence still speaks to us now.
In every phrase, in every thoughtful line,
Shakespeare’s soul continues to shine.
