Image
And pray, who are you? Said the Violet blue To the Bee, with surprise, At his wonderful size, In her eyeglass of dew. I, madam, quoth he, Am a publican Bee, Collecting the tax Of honey and wax. Have you nothing for me?

In every seed to breathe a flower, In every drop of dew To reverence a cloister star Within the distant blue To wait the promise of the how, Despite the cloud between, Is Faith-the fervid evidence Of loneliness unseen.

A flash of harmless lightning, A mist of rainbow dyes, The burnished sunbeams brightening From flower to flower he flies.

Are ye the ghosts of fallen leaves, O flakes of snow, For which, through naked trees, the winds A-mourning go?
