Under the greenwood tree

  "Under The Greenwood Tree"

This healthy piece of verse is composed by William Shakespeare, who is big giant of English Literature. He is a poet and a dramatist of "Elizavethan age" this heart touching piece of poetry is taken from his famous comedy "As you like it". This song is sung by lord Amines, living an exile life in the forest. The duke has been robbed of his state by his uncivilized brother.

Lord Amines praises the simple but jolly and peaceful life of the forest. He invites people to lead a joyful and care free life in the jungle. He proves the superiority of such living over city or country life. He enjoys the pleasant song of birds that his heart leaos up in ecstasy. There is none to disturb his life. It is a point blank that evils of human society like deceit, hypocrisy and conspiracies do mot exit there. One enjoys very simple life in the company of natural beauty.
