Reaching up to the sky
As if to touch the blue
Brilliant and boldly done
They face toward heaven
On their yellow pollen pillows
Bees adorned in golden dust
Jubilant in their dances
Honey sweet designs
A palatial plant towering
The glory of nature's cotillion
In its summer season's reign
Their heads droop in the coming
Of autumn's realm of brown
A palatial plant towering
The glory of nature's cotillion
The benevolent host here
The lifeblood of all dear
Their heads shall droop
At festivities conclusion
When the humming shall ceases
And autumn closes in
The seeds of propagation
Will greet the new spring
And sustain through winter
Life's continuing cycle
