The A-word

BBC Radio Leicester interview

Fairy lullaby sung by Manor Park Infant School as part of SHAKESPEARE'S WORLDS - our collaboration with Nonsuch Theatre and Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.

Lyrics (William Shakespeare):
You spotted snakes with double tongue,
Thorny hedgehogs be not seen;
Newts and blind-worms do no wrong,
Come not near our fairy queen.
Lulla-lulla-lullaby,
Lulla-lulla-lullaby.
Never harm
Nor spell nor charm
Come our lovely lady nigh;
So goodnight with lullaby,

Fairy Lullaby
