How does the little busy bee Improve each shining hour ; And gather honey all the day, From every op'ning flower ! How skilfully she builds her cell ! How neat she spreads her wax ! And labors hard to store it well, With tlie sweet food she makes. In works of labor or of skill, I would be busy too : For Satan finds some mischief still For idle hands to do. In books, or work, or healthful play, Let my first years be past ; That I may give for every day Some good account at last. va J.
