Poet Analysis

First Line: HONEY-FLOWERS TO THE HONEY COMB
Last Line: AND THE BEE HAS HAD HIS HOUR.
Subject(s): ALLITERATIVE VERSE;
HONEY-FLOWERS to the honey-comb
And the honey-bee's from home.

A honey-comb and a honey-flower,
And the bee shall have his hour.

A honeyed heart for the honey-comb,
And the humming bee flies home.

A heavy heart in the honey-flower,
And the bee has had his hour.
