OK, first, this song has a context--it is part of the play A Midsummer Night's Dream, and its purpose is to get the audience to accept that what is going on has to do with fairies. It's a fairly weak piece, but there is some figurative language in it: "swifter than the moon's sphere" is a simile and "fairy favours" is alliteration. The first four lines show a lot of parallel structure.
Shakespeare did not give it a title, just had a fairy sing it. It was not anthologized and titled until over two hundred years had passed after it was written.

What year did William Shakespeare wrote a A Fairy Song?
The verses anthologized as A Fairy Song are in fact part of the dialogue from Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream which he wrote around 1595 or so. The last thing Shakespeare would have expected is that they would be torn from their context, given the silly title "A Fairy Song" and treated as if they are serious poetry.

What does William Shakespeare's poem 'a fairy song' mean?
William Shakespeare did not intend you to consider the words you have anthologised under the name "A Fairy Song" seperately from the play A Midsummer Night's Dream. They are spoken by a fairy who runs into Robin Goodfellow, otherwise known as Puck by way of an introduction. The important point here is that the fairy says "And I serve the fairy queen" which means that she (it's usually a she, but could be a he) is one of Titania's servants, and she further says that the Queen and her fairies are coming to this spot. All the rest of it is about how she wanders about doing errands for Titania like hanging dewdrops in flowers and other silly stuff. A dumbed-down version of the song might go like this: "I go over hills and valleys, through bushes and thorns, over parks and fenced-in spaces, through water and fire. I wander everywhere faster than the moon revolves around the Earth. I work for Titania, the Fairy Queen, and organize fairy dances for her in the grass. The cowslip flowers are her bodyguards. You'll see that their petals have spots on them-those are rubies, fairy gifts. Their sweet smells come from those little freckles. Now I have to go find some dewdrops and hang a pearl earring on every cowslip flower. Goodbye, you dumb old spirit. I've got to go. The queen and her elves will be here soon."
