Pink bag-pipes make for the bees,

Whose slogan is droning and drawling,

Where columbine scatters its bells

And the wild bleeding-heart its shells

O'er mosses and rocks of the dells

The brook of the forest is calling.

You can hear it under the hill

When the wind in the wood is still,

And, strokes of a fairy drill,

Sounds the bill of the yellow-hammer.
