And buzzed his way across a field,

The while the birds their love-song spieled.

He buzzed and ate full many an hour,

Then crawled into a dainty flower

And curled himself up for a nap,

The same as any drowsy chap.

A cow came browsing through the moor

And towards the little floweret bore;

Not knowing that the bee was there,

She put it on her bill of fare.
