ARIEL'S SONG (2), FR. THE TEMPEST, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Where the bee sucks, there suck I
Last Line: Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.

Where the bee sucks, there suck I:
In a cowslip's bell I lie;
There I couch when owls do cry;
On the bat's back I do fly
After summer merrily.
Merrily, merrily, shall I live now,
Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.
