Observe the insect race, ordained to keep

The silent sabbath of a half year's sleep!

Entom'd beneath the filmy web they lie

And wait the influence of a kinder sky;

When vernal sunbeams pierce the dark retreat,

The heaving tomb distends with vital heat;

The full formed brood, impatient of their cell,

Start from their trance, and burst their silken shell.

BARBAULD.
