Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Scarlet flowers bloom ahead
Bobbing in sunbeams
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
While the sun strikes the water
Flashing like ice cream
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Race the sun until the end
Catching one last gleam

Music from a charming fellow
Pulling notes from an elegant cello
Glides over small flowers yellow
Sweet and soft and mellow

In the shadow of Shakespeare, a summer's day begins
In the shadow of Emily, feathered hope flies up and wins
In the shadow of Wordsworth, daffodils shine bright
In the shadow of Tennyson, a mirror flashes with reflected sight
In the shadow of Anne, refining fire burns strong
In the shadow of Christina, goblins sing a scintillating song
In the shadow of these giants, perhaps my own will grow in alliance

William Shakespeare, Sonnet 18
