Lesson:

1. Buzz! buzz! buzz!


This is the song of the bee.


His legs are of yellow;


A jolly, good fellow,


And yet a great worker is he.





2. In days that are sunny


He's getting his honey;


In days that are cloudy


He's making his wax:


On pinks and on lilies,


And gay daffodillies,


And columbine blossoms,


He levies a tax!





3. Buzz! buzz! buzz!


The sweet-smelling clover,


He, humming, hangs over;


The scent of the roses


Makes fragrant his wings:


He never gets lazy;


From thistle and daisy,


And weeds of the meadow,


Some treasure he brings.





4. Buzz! buzz! buzz!


From morning's first light


Till the coming of night,


He's singing and toiling


The summer day through.


Oh! we may get weary,


And think work is dreary;


'Tis harder by far


To have nothing to do.





Marian Douglas.
