DESDEMONA
[Singing] The poor soul sat sighing by a sycamore tree,
Sing all a green willow:
Her hand on her bosom, her head on her knee,
Sing willow, willow, willow:
The fresh streams ran by her, and murmur'd her moans;
Sing willow, willow, willow;
Her salt tears fell from her, and soften'd the stones;
Lay by these:--
Singing
Sing willow, willow, willow;
Prithee, hie thee; he'll come anon:--
Read the above excerpt and think of what come to mind? Can you visualize how the scene will be like and how the melody of the song will sound like? What imagery comes to mind with the use of the word "willow"

Hi Ms Goh,
ReplyDeleteI think it reminds me of weeping willows and so the scene should probably be a sad one. The melody should be quite quiet and slow I guess.
