From: A Midsummer Night's Dream
Author: William Shakespeare
Gender: Originally female but could be male
Age Range: any
Genre: Eh, it's Shakespeare

Over hill, over dale,
Thorough bush, thorough brier,
Over park, over pale,
Thorough flood, thorough fire,
I do wander everywhere,
Swifter than the moon's sphere;
And I serve the fairy queen,
To dew her orbs upon the green.
The cowslips tall her pensioners be:
In their gold coats spots you see;
Those be rubies, fairy favours,
In those freckles live their savours:
I must go seek some dewdrops here
And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear.
Farewell, thou lob of spirits;
I'll be gone:
Our queen and all our elves come here anon.

I did this for district drama competition with another piece and it was so much fun! Pretty easy to comprehend and memorize as far is Shakespeare goes.
