There is a typo in the Spring poem
The 3rd line from the last:
> Four thy soul in gratitude;
should read:
Pour thy soul in gratitude;
While I’m here, I post a children’s Bee poem.
Hope I don't find more errors, I'm running out of
poems. ;)
Excerpt from the book:
Juvenile Poems
1828
THE BEE.
Maria hears the humming bee,
And shrinks with fear his form to see;
Maria need not be afraid;
It will not hurt the little maid.
Though on her arm it choose to light,
The noisy insect will not bite;
Unless she tries to strike it down;
Be wise, and leave it quite alone,
If kindly us’d bees seldom sting;
There see, again it spreads its wing;
‘Tis going home to leave its store,
Then back will come, to seek for more.
Look in the hive---observe their plan,
And find a lesson there for man:
No idle inmate will you see,
Forever active is the bee.
Joe

“Without passion there might be no errors,
but without passion there would certainly be no
history.”
