William Shakespeare (26 April 1564 - 23 April 1616 / Warwickshire)

So true of any wedding...........we pray the discourteous types do not arrive :)

Oh......only the pretty birds?

Why should the birds not be there? Or am I getting it all wrong? Some one please explain?

beautiful poem love the flowers and the birds..excellent imagery.. :)

its not typically shakesreare but i like it
its very interesting

I have post a Chinese translation about this poem, but there ia a guy named: justjust gives information like this as follow:

'this was the first time i saw this poem. i have a feeling that it was not written by shakespeare. why so? meter is one thing of consideration. shakespeare did not seem to use this kind of meter (often) . secondly, some words may not be so shakespearean. for instance, the word 'Ver'. apparently this is not an english word. it is latin, meaning spring. i don't recall seeing this word in his sonnets. also the rhyme. i would think that normally shakespeare would choose a different type of rhyme. '

wonderful, unequalled by the metaphors and imagery
