LITTLE NEIGHBORS.
Birds a-singing in the trees,Marigolds a-blowing;Bees a-humming what they please,Coming and a-going;Hiding in the hollyhocks,Swinging on the clover,Climbing up the Lily-stalks,Honey running over.Breath of roses in the air,Roses are in hiding;Breezes will not tell us where,—Winds are not confiding;Down the walks the children wind,Through the fence a-peeping;Like the bees and birds they findTreasures for the seeking.Little neighbors, like the birds,Sing and talk at pleasure;Like the bees, with honeyed words,Choose their time and measure;Like sweet peas they cling and climb,Here and there and yonder;All the pleasant summer-timeThey visit and they wander.

Birds a-singing in the trees,
Marigolds a-blowing;
Bees a-humming what they please,
Coming and a-going;
Hiding in the hollyhocks,
Swinging on the clover,
Climbing up the Lily-stalks,
Honey running over.
Breath of roses in the air,Roses are in hiding;Breezes will not tell us where,—Winds are not confiding;Down the walks the children wind,Through the fence a-peeping;Like the bees and birds they findTreasures for the seeking.
Breath of roses in the air,
Roses are in hiding;
Breezes will not tell us where,—
Winds are not confiding;
Down the walks the children wind,
Through the fence a-peeping;
Like the bees and birds they find
Treasures for the seeking.
