Cavort, spin from side to side
Puff away in my minds eye
Careless from all time I bide
Swirling robes like incense IHappy happy with the air
Flip and flick my cherub hair
Tap gargoyle here steeple there
Soar above to swoop below
From fairy castle to demon’s lair
Along the moat with water flowSmile smile at natures done
Free am now in so much fun
Whisper day to tawny owl
Buzz like bees in his ear
Shriek to fluster water fowl
Scatter all in alien fearGiggle giggle at this my life
Forget all pain of boarded strife
Tweak petals of forget-me-nots
Lullabies hum like flowing brooks
Soothe the babies in their cots
Wink and nod at side long looksBliss bliss it appears to me
So happy I to be thus free
Sip some nectar here and there
Dust the stamens of yon flowers
Nod to doves, in a cooing pair
Flit and turn in shady bowersMerry merry on a grassy sling
What delight doth freedom bring?
On bat’s winged back I fly
Toss in air then slowly glide
Amid flowery baskets happy lie
World my oyster opens wideFree! free! At last I sing
Tulips daisies, bells ring

The, all engrossing, happiness of ‘Ariel the sprite’,
Released from bondage by Prospero…
As understood by a student of Shakespeare, in “the tempest”.
