BABY, BEE, AND BUTTERFLY.
Reading edition
BY MARY D. BRINE.
aby, Bee, and Butterfly, Underneath the summer sky. Baby, bees, and birds together, Happy in the pleasant weather; Sunshine over all around, In the sky, and on the ground; Hiding, too, in Baby's eyes, As he looks in mute surprise At the sunbeams tumbling over Merrily amid the clover, Where the bees, at work all day, Never find the time for play. Happy little baby boy! Tiny heart all full of joy; Loving everything on earth, As love welcomed him at birth; Ever learning new delights, Ever seeing pleasant sights; Taking each day one step more Than he ever took before. Shine out, sunbeams, warm and bright, Lengthen daytime, shorten night, Till so wise he grows that he Spells baby with a great big B.
