Excerpt from Sketches of Rural Life, and Other Poems Miller The miller's wife has lost the bees That swarmed across the water, Why couldn't they swarm in the garden trees? But now, for aught she hears or sees, They're gone for good; she's ill at ease, And calls her pretty daughter. "Forego, my friend, your fuss and fright, For as sure as you're alive You'll get your bees again all right; Those sweet young eyes, so large and bright, Will find the swarm, and so ere night You'll stock another hive."
