I Know a Bank

by William Shakespeare

Est. reading time: 1 min

a bank where the wild thyme
Where oxlips, and the nodding violet grows ;
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses, and with eglantine :
There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
Lull'd in these flowers with dances and delight ;
And there the snake throws her enamell'd skin,
Weed wide enough to wrap a fairy in.
-From "A Midsummer- Night's Dream. "
