YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Quick overview of the Shakespeare classic using classic silhouettes by Paul Konewka (1841-1871).

LYRICS

Athenian royal wedding, four youths in the forest treading

Into the faerie world spring

Demetrius pledged to Hermia, but she loves Lysander better

Helena waits in the wings

The course of true love…never did run smooth”…

They say “what fools these mortals be”

“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind”

Cupid’s so “blind”, you see

Faerie king Oberon upset with his Titania

Orders a potion of love

With Puck the magic goes awry, both boys for Helena do sigh

She thinks they mock, she’s had enough!

The queen awakens, from “flowery bed”

Swoons for a man with an ass head

“Jack shall have Jill, nought shall go ill

The man shall have his mare again”

“If we shadows have offended, think but this, and all is mended

That you have but slumbered here”

Everything a dream, a vision, “fairy-time” an apparition

In this fair tale from Shakespeare
