A Sea Dirge By William Shakespeare

A Sea Dirge By William Shakespeare

From 'The Tempest'

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:
Hark! now I hear them.,-
Ding, dong, bell.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
