These children of the sun which summer bringsA
As pastoral minstrels in her merry trainB
Pipe rustic ballads upon busy wingsA
And glad the cotters' quiet toils againC
The white nosed bee that bores its little holeD
In mortared walls and pipes its symphoniesE
And never absent couzen black as coalD
That Indian like bepaints its little thighsF
With white and red bedight for holidayG
Right earlily a morn do pipe and playG
And with their legs stroke slumber from their eyesF
And aye so fond they of their singing seemH
That in their holes abed at close of dayG
They still keep piping in their honey dreamsI
And larger ones that thrum on ruder pipeJ
Round the sweet smelling closen and rich woodsK
Where tawny white and red flush clover budsL
Shine bonnily and bean fields blossom ripeJ
Shed dainty perfumes and give honey foodM
To these sweet poets of the summer fieldsN
Me much delighting as I stroll alongO
The narrow path that hay laid meadow yieldsN
Catching the windings of their wandering songO
The black and yellow bumble first on wingP
To buzz among the sallow's early flowersQ
Hiding its nest in holes from fickle springP
Who stints his rambles with her frequent showersQ
And one that may for wiser piper passR
In livery dress half sables and half redS
Who laps a moss ball in the meadow grassR
And hoards her stores when April showers have fledS
And russet commoner who knows the faceT
Of every blossom that the meadow bringsA
Starting the traveller to a quicker paceT
By threatening round his head in many ringsA
These sweeten summer in their happy gleeU
By giving for her honey melodyU
