Ariel's Song (Come unto these yellow sands, unsourced)

by William Shakespeare

For other versions of this work, see Ariel's Song (Come unto these yellow sands).

Come unto these yellow sands,
     And then take hands:
Curtsied when you have, and kiss'd
     The wild waves whist,
Foot it featly here and there;
And, sweet sprites, the burthen bear.
     Hark, hark!
Bow-wow.
     The watch-dogs bark.
Bow-wow.
     Hark, hark! I hear
     The strain of strutting chanticleer
     Cry, Cock-a-diddle-dow.

Full fathom five thy father lies;
     Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
     Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
          Ding-dong.
Hark! now I hear them—Ding-dong, bell.
