   Bees! bees! come to the trees
Where the Lime has hung her treasures;
   Come, come, hover and hum;
   Come and enjoy your pleasures!
The feast is ready, the guests are bidden;
   Under the petals the honey is hidden;
Like pearls shine the drops of sweetness there,
And the scent of the Lime-flowers fills the air.
But soon the blossoms pretty and pale
Will all be gone; and the leaf-like sail
Will bear the little round fruits away;
   So bees! bees! come while you may!
