Said little brown Bee to big brown Bee:
"Oh! hurry here and see, and see.
The loneliest rose That in the garden grows."
"Humumum." Said little brown Bee to big brown Bee.

Said little brown Bee to big brown Bee:
"Much honey must be here,
and we should beg a portion while we may,
For soon more bees will come this way.
Humumum." Said little brown Bee to big brown Bee.

Said big brown Bee to little brown Bee:
"The rose is not for me,
Though she is lovelier by far
Than many other flowers are.
Humumum." Said little brown Bee to big brown Bee.
