William Shakespeare, "A Midsummer's Night Dream" (Act II sc. i)

Puck's Fairy Song

Over hill, over dale,

Thorough bush, thorough brier,

Over park, over pale,

Thorough flood, thorough fire,

I do wander every where,

Swifter than the moon's sphere;

And I serve the fairy queen,

To dew her orbs upon the green.

Noah Kahan, "False Confidence"

 Poem by Google AI:

I lace my steps with heavy pride,
And lock the trembling doubt inside.
A polished shield, a brilliant lie,
Held steady as I walk on by.

The mirror shows the painted smile,
I've learned to wear it all the while.
But in the quiet of the night,
The armor fades without a fight.

So confident, they say of me,
But they ignore what cannot be.
It’s just a mask of borrowed strength,
I stretch my truth to any length.
