LUNCH TIME.

The Bees are coming,

I hear them humming

Their pleasant Summer song.

You are late to-day;

Did you lose your way?

We have been waiting long.

My cream-white Clover

Is running over

With honey clear and sweet;

And my Brier-Rose,

As a bee well knows,

Holds something nice to eat.

Come, take your honey,

It costs no money,

The little gift is free;

Come every noon

Through merry June,

And take your lunch with me.
