The tragedy of Hamlet

(Inspired by the play by William Shakespeare)



ACT I

Once past twelve sounds a bell

'Tis bitter cold at Elsinore

Three Danes await and watch the night

For the late king Hamlet's spectral sight

It comes again in warlike form

This spirit of health beckons his son

Father, king, royal Dane?

Tell me the reason why you came

I am the spirit of the king

I walk the night and burn by day
