A DEWDROP.
Little drop of dew,
Like a gem you are;
I believe that you
Must have been a star.
When the day is bright,
On the grass you lie;
Tell me then, at night
Are you in the sky?
BEES.
Bees don't care about the snow;
I can tell you why that's so:
Once I caught a little bee
Who was much too warm for me!
