BUMBLE-BEE.
Reading edition
Bumble-Bee superbly dressed, In velvet, jet, and gold, Sailed along in eager quest, And hummed a ballad bold. Morning-Glory clinging tight To friendly spires of grass, Blushing in the early light, Looked out to see him pass. Nectar pure as crystal lay In her ruby cup; Bee was very glad to stay, Just to drink it up. "Fairest of the flowers," said he, "'Twas a precious boon; May you still a Glory be, Morning, night, and noon!"
M. A. C.
