Poet Analysis

First Line: A HONEY CELL'S IN THE HONEYSUCKLE
Last Line: AND THE BEE IS HEAVY AND BONNY.
Subject(s): ALLITERATIVE VERSE;

A honey-cell's in the honeysuckle,
And the honey-bee knows it well.

The honey-comb has a heart of honey,
And the humming bee's so bonny.

A honey-flower's the honeysuckle,
And the bee's in the honey-bell.

The honeysuckle is sucked of honey,
And the bee is heavy and bonny.
