The swarthy bee is a buccaneer	A
A burly velveted rover	B
Who loves the booming wind in his ear	A
As he sails the seas of clover	B
	-
A waif of the goblin pirate crew	C
With not a soul to deplore him	D
He steers for the open verge of blue	C
With the filmy world before him	D
	-
His flimsy sails abroad on the wind	E
Are shivered with fairy thunder	B
On a line that sings to the light of his wings	F
He makes for the lands of wonder	B
	-
He harries the ports of the Hollyhocks	G
And levies on poor Sweetbrier	B
He drinks the whitest wine of Phlox	G
And the Rose is his desire	B
	-
He hangs in the Willows a night and a day	H
He rifles the Buckwheat patches	G
Then battens his store of pelf galore	B
Under the tautest hatches	G
	-
He woos the Poppy and weds the Peach	I
Inveigles Daffodilly	C
And then like a tramp abandons each	I
For the gorgeous Canada Lily	C
	-
There's not a soul in the garden world	J
But wishes the day were shorter	B
When Mariner B puts out to sea	C
With the wind in the proper quarter	B
	-
Or so they say But I have my doubts	G
For the flowers are only human	K
And the valor and gold of a vagrant bold	L
Were always dear to woman	K
	-
He dares to boast along the coast	M
The beauty of Highland Heather	B
How he and she with night on the sea	C
Lay out on the hills together	B
	-
He pilfers from every port of the wind	E
From April to golden autumn	N
But the thieving ways of his mortal days	G
Are those his mother taught him	D
	-
His morals are mixed but his will is fixed	O
He prospers after his kind	E
And follows an instinct compass sure	B
The philosophers call blind	E
	-
And that is why when he comes to die	P
He'll have an easier sentence	G
Than some one I know who thinks just so	G
And then leaves room for repentance	G
	-
He never could box the compass round	Q
He doesn't know port from starboard	R
But he knows the gates of the Sundown Straits	G
Where the choicest goods are harbored	R
	-
He never could see the Rule of Three	C
But he knows a rule of thumb	N
Better than Euclid's better than yours	G
Or the teachers' yet to come	N
	-
He knows the smell of the hydromel	C
As if two and two were five	S
And hides it away for a year and a day	H
In his own hexagonal hive	S
	-
Out in the day hap hazard alone	T
Booms the old vagrant hummer	B
With only his whim to pilot him	D
Through the splendid vast of summer	B
	-
He steers and steers on the slant of the gale	C
Like the fiend or Vanderdecken	T
And there's never an unknown course to sail	C
But his crazy log can reckon	T
	-
He drones along with his rough sea song	U
And the throat of a salty tar	B
This devil may care till he makes his lair	B
By the light of a yellow star	B
	-
He looks like a gentleman lives like a lord	V
And works like a Trojan hero	G
Then loafs all winter upon his hoard	V
With the mercury at zero	G
