PLEIADES AND....CHEESE, by ALICE FERRIN HENSEY First Line: My friend is robbing honey-bees Last Line: Just bread and cheese! Subject(s): Friendship; Gratitude | ||||||||
My friend is robbing honey-bees In golden-meadowed Pleiades. I cannot offer him a share Of my so plain and common fare ... Just bread and cheese! When apples of Hesperides No longer load the bending trees My friend will thank the one who brings These plain and good substantial things ...
