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.

but without passion there would certainly be no
history.” 
C. V. Wedgwood
