Adrian and Francisco Lyrics by W. H. Auden

The Sea And the Mirror: A Commentary on Shakespeare’s The Tempest

0

Good little sunbeams must learn to fly,
But it's madly ungay when the goldfish die.
One act is censored, Prospero,
My audience is my own;
Nor Adrian nor Francisco know
The drama that Antonio
Plays in his head alone.
