Hive
Liberty Hyde Bailey
The building bees are humming
About the angled comb
And yellow bees are coming
With treasure laden home,
And other bees are going
To orchard and to bloom
To fetch new sweetness flowing
For ev’ry honeyed room;
Ten thousand blooms are vying
Wherever they may roam—
In hurst or fallow flying
The journey leadeth home.
(from LH Bailey Wind and Weather, orginally published 1916,
reprint from Doulos Christou Press now available, see review above).
