Birds gather to mourn the phoenix and the turtledove in William Shakespeare’s poem. Their shared love raises questions of union and separate identity, while the closing lament remembers beauty and truth. This edition brings together the complete English poem and its Yoruba translation, following the funeral gathering, the lovers’ bond and the final prayer for the dead birds.
