A Fairy In A Flower

A TINY gold fairy flew into a flower One morning at cock-crow, to hide from a shower; The drops fell a patter upon his tent roof, But what did it matter while leaves were rain proof?

He found in the flower fine honey to eat; “So-so,” sang the fairy, “the food here is sweet! No prince in his palace fares better than I, Alone in my chalice with storms blowing by!”

Now what do you think is the name of this fairy Who hid from the shower in lily-bell airy? His coat is bright yellow, black banded with fuzz;-- This bumble-bee gay with his musical buzz!
