a group of little pansy-folk

came out one summer day,

nodding their pretty heads about

in such a charming way.

bonnets of gold and lavender

and purple, too, they wore,

and such a jolly company

was never seen before.

a very saucy bumblebee

came loudly buzzing by,

and snubbed the pansy-folk, and whisked

their bonnets all awry.

they scolded, frowned, and shook with fright;

they bade him come no more.

o such a sorry company

was never seen before!
