Each has its cue, to sing, to fall, to shine,

And exquisitely responds. The drunken bee

Blundering and stumbling through a world of flowers

Has his own tingling entrances, unknown

To man or to himself; and, though he lives

In his own bee-world, following his own law,

He is yet the unweeting shuttle in a loom

That marries rose to rose in other worlds,

And shapes the wonder of Springs he cannot see.
