4 TREASURY OF STORIES, JINGLES AND RHYMES.

JULY AND THE BUMBLE-BEE.

ULY comes with song and laughter,
Clover-blossoms in her hands ;
Bumble-bee comes buzzing. after,—

Jacket brown with yellow bands,

“JT have been the whole field over,
North and south and east and west;
And if I’m a judge of clover,

You, July, have found the best!

“T’ll give all my honey-pleasures
That in fields and gardens lie,
If you'll share the stolen treasures,

In your dainty hands, July!”
