    The honey-bee that wanders all day long
    The field, the woodland, and the garden o'er,
    To gather in his fragrant winter store,
    Humming in calm content his winter song,
    Seeks not alone the rose's glowing breast,
    The lily's dainty cup, the violet's lips,
    But from all rank and noxious weeds he sips
    The single drop of sweetness closely pressed
    Within the poison chalice.

As fair as ever and as fit to use;
So both the flower doth stay and honey run.

To join her comrades in the braided hive,
Where, housed beside their might honey-comb,
They dream their polity shall long survive.

The careful insect 'midst his works I view,
Now from the flowers exhaust the fragrant dew,
With golden treasures load his little thighs,
And steer his distant journey through the skies.

The solitary Bee
Whose buzzing was the only sound of life,
Flew there on restless wing,
Seeking in vain one blossom where to fix.

Here come the hum the golden bees
Underneath full blossomed trees,
At once with glowing fruit and flowers crowned.

Burly, dozing humblebee,
Where thou art is clime for me.
Let them sail for Porto Rique,
Far-off heats through seas to seek.
I will follow thee alone,
Thou animated torrid-zone!

The pedigree of honey
Does not concern the bee;
A clover, any time, to him
Is aristocracy.
