How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower!

The tall, the wise, the reverend head
Must lie as low as ours.

Then will I set my heart to find
Inward adornings of the mind;
Knowledge and virtue, truth and grace,
These are the robes of richest dress.
