Rhyme Scheme: ABABCBCB DEDEFGFG HIHIJKJK LMLMNBNBAll for me the bumble bee | A |
Drones his song in the perfect weather | B |
And just on purpose to sing to me | A |
Thrush and blue bird came North together | B |
Just for me in red and white | C |
Bloom and blossom the fields of clover | B |
And all for me and my delight | C |
The wild Wind follows and plays the lover | B |
- | |
The mighty sun with a scorching kiss | D |
I have read and heard and do not doubt it | E |
Has burned up a thousand worlds like this | D |
And never stopped to think about it | E |
And yet I believe he hurries up | F |
Just on purpose to kiss my flowers | G |
To drink the dew from the lily cup | F |
And help it to grow through golden hours | G |
- | |
I know I am only a speck of dust | H |
An individual mite of masses | I |
Clinging upon the outer crust | H |
Of a little ball of cooling gases | I |
And yet and yet say what you will | J |
And laugh if you please at my lack of reason | K |
For me wholly and for me still | J |
Blooms and blossoms the Summer season | K |
- | |
Nobody else has ever heard | L |
The story the Wind to me discloses | M |
And none but I and the humming bird | L |
Can read the hearts of the crimson roses | M |
Ah my Summer my love my own | N |
The world grows glad in your smiling weather | B |
Yet all for me and me alone | N |
You and your Court came North together | B |
