Shakespeare's Kingdom

Shakespeare's Kingdom

"Shakespeare's Kingdom" is a poem written by Alfred Noyes, and set to music by the English composer Edward Elgar. It was one of the eight songs Elgar wrote for the "Pageant of Empire" which opened the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley on 23 April 1924.

The song is about the English poet, William Shakespeare, describing his arrival in London.
