Many cross the Rhine
In this cup of mine.
Sip old Frankfort air
From my brown Cigar.

Does not concern the bee;
A clover, any time, to him
Is aristocracy.

An everywhere of silver,
With ropes of sand
To keep it from effacing
The track called land.

I stole them from a Bee—
Because—Thee—
Sweet plea—
He pardoned me!
