Happy Honeybee

View On Black

 

The pedigree of Honey

Does not concern the Bee,

Nor lineage of Ecstasy

Delay the Butterfly

On spangle journeys to the peak

Of some perceiveless thing--

The right of way to Tripoli

A more essential thing.

--

The Pedigree of Honey

Does not concern the Bee--

A Clover, any time, to him,

Is Aristocracy--
