A BEE’S BURIAL. The flowers were woefully shaken, They had seen a brown bee die; He fell at the foot of a rose tree And the roses heard him sigh—- “ Who will gather my honey? Who will finish my cell? Who will bury my body? Who will ring me a knell?” Columbine sang his passing, An earthworm dug him a grave, Blackbird, dressed in deep mourning, Sang him a funeral stave.
