The tall clock is striking twelve	A
And the little girls stop in the hall to watch it	B
And the big ships rocking in a half circle	C
Above the dial	C
Twelve o'clock	D
Down the side steps	E
Go the little girls	F
Under their big round straw hats	G
Minna's has a pink ribbon	H
Stella's a blue	I
That is the way they know which is which	J
Twelve o'clock	D
An hour yet before dinner	K
Mother is busy in the still room	L
And Hannah is making gingerbread	M
	-
Slowly with lagging steps	E
They follow the garden path	N
Crushing a leaf of box for its acrid smell	O
Discussing what they shall do	I
And doing nothing	P
	-
Stella see that grasshopper	K
Climbing up the bank	Q
What a jump	R
Almost as long as my arm	S
Run children run	H
For the grasshopper is leaping away	T
In half circle curves	U
Shuttlecock curves	U
Over the grasses	V
Hand in hand the little girls call to him	W
Grandfather grandfather gray	T
Give me molasses or I'll throw you away	T
	-
The grasshopper leaps into the sunlight	X
Golden green	Y
And is gone	Z
	-
Let's catch a bee	A2
Round whirl the little girls	F
And up the garden	H
Two heads are thrust among the Canterbury bells	B2
Listening	P
And fingers clasp and unclasp behind backs	C2
In a strain of silence	D2
	-
White bells	B2
Blue bells	B2
Hollow and reflexed	X
Deep tunnels of blue and white dimness	B2
Cool wine tunnels for bees	B2
There is a floundering and buzzing over Minna's head	X
	-
Bend it down Stella Quick Quick	E2
The wide mouth of a blossom	F2
Is pressed together in Minna's fingers	B2
The stem flies up jiggling its flower bells	B2
And Minna holds the dark blue cup in her hand	X
With the bee	A2
Imprisoned in it	X
Whirr Buzz Bump	R
Bump Whiz Bang	G2
BANG	G2
The blue flower tears across like paper	K
And a gold black bee darts away in the sunshine	H2
	-
If we could fly we could catch him	W
The sunshine is hot on Stella's upturned face	B2
As she stares after the bee	A2
We'll follow him in a dove chariot	X
Come on Stella	I2
Run children	H
Along the red gravel paths	B2
For a bee is hard to catch	J2
Even with a chariot of doves	B2
	-
Tall still and cowled	X
Stand the monk's hoods	B2
Taller than the heads of the little girls	B2
A blossom for Minna	I2
A blossom for Stella	I2
Off comes the cowl	K2
And there is a purple painted chariot	X
Off comes the forward petal	C
And there are two little green doves	B2
With green traces tying them to the chariot	X
Now we will get in and fly right up to the clouds	B2
Fly Doves up in the sky	L2
With Minna and me	A2
After the bee	A2
	-
Up one path	N
Down another	K
Run the little girls	B2
Holding their dove chariots in front of them	M2
But the bee is hidden in the trumpet of a honeysuckle	C
With his wings folded along his back	N2
	-
The dove chariots are thrown away	T
And the little girls wander slowly through the garden	H
Sucking the salvia tips	B2
And squeezing the snapdragons	B2
To make them gape	O2
I'm so hot	X
Let's pick a pansy	A2
And see the little man in his bath	N
And play we're he	A2
A royal bath tub	P2
Hung with purple stuffs and yellow	Q2
The great purple yellow wings	B2
Rise up behind the little red and green man	R2
The purple yellow wings fan him	W
He dabbles his feet in cool green	Y
Off with the green sheath	S2
And there are two spindly legs	B2
Heigho sighs Minna	I2
Heigho sighs Stella	I2
There is not a flutter of wind	X
And the sun is directly overhead	X
	-
Along the edge of the garden	H
Walk the little girls	B2
Their hats round and yellow like cheeses	B2
Are dangling by the ribbons	B2
The grass is a tumult of buttercups and daisies	B2
Buttercups and daisies streaming away	T
Up the hill	T2
The garden is purple and pink and orange and scarlet	X
The garden is hot with colours	B2
But the meadow is only yellow and white and green	Y
Cool and long and quiet	X
The little girls pick buttercups	B2
And hold them under each other's chins	B2
You're as gold as Grandfather's snuff box	B2
You're going to be very rich Minna	I2
Oh o o Then I'll ask my husband to give me a pair of garnet earrings	B2
Just like Aunt Nancy's	B2
I wonder if he will	T2
I know We'll tell fortunes	B2
That's what we'll do	X
Plump down in the meadow grass	B2
Stella and Minna	I2
With their round yellow hats	B2
Like cheeses	B2
Beside them	M2
Drop	U2
Drop	U2
Daisy petals	B2
One I love	V2
Two I love	V2
Three I love I say	B2
The ground is peppered with daisy petals	B2
And the little girls nibble the golden centres	B2
And play it is cake	W2
	-
A bell rings	B2
Dinner time	X2
And after dinner there are lessons	B2
